price doesnt matter. its all about the tone you like. Look on youtube and listen for what you think sounds good. I custom fabbed an Invidia N1 from a 350z and Evo set up for my cat back.

not too bad Invidia exhaust systems arent reallyloud until higher rpm. they tend to be quiet at low rpms

the most xpensive one is the one you have hand built for you by a good Exh. shop out of stainless steel or even better ( and way more $$) Titanium......

as for the mass produced rest they are all pretty much the same price... u figure $400 or so for a " good" catback u can find decent no name-off brand options at half that & the exclusive ones (JAYDEEMM) for double that... but why pay more for rare "JDM ONLY type brands & parts.... you would be paying more for some of the trick Euro stuff to be imported also, but in the end... they all perform & sound fairly similar with small variances in general appearance...... and performance. it boils down to design/look, and tone since the HP dfference is minimal...

Best most xpensive cat back I ever had was a dual/quad setup I had custom made that sounds and looks better than any HKS, Tanabe, Apexi, Ltuned, Greddy,..... and i tested virtually all the major brands for this car. i still run that exh today, it is still the best sounding exh i have ever heard on this car...

if interested i can post pics.....
