If you are looking for quality - it's going to be really hard to beat Cobb

A race pipe is best for powah but I prefer the sound of Maddad whisper. Yet to find one used though.

If by "legit" you mean "legal",forget it.

You can't beat Cobb for a tbe with or without cat. And with obvious minor mods,both stock cat shields fit the Cobb downpipe,making it look legal.

Cat back exhaust is only good for noise... Don't expect ANY power from this mod. The only reason I have a cat-back is because I like hearing my car through the rev range and nothing sounds better than a boxer engine! I don't know why people spend so much money on their cat backs... I understand not buying cheap parts that fall apart after 1,000 miles, but to spend $700+ on a catback is insane!

Get whatever cbe sounds/looks good to you. Get a good downpipe. Bellmouth is good. Divorced wg is good to, so long as it clears your wg flap. Catted or uncatted...doesn't make a difference IMO. Make sure you get new gaskets and stage 2 tune as well.

or

Closest thing to legal, (assuming that's what you meant by "legit") would be the SPT cat back. It's covered by warranty and looks stock, with a little more rumble. No such thing as a "legit" DP though, I went with a Titek catted...but if I had the cash at the time I would have gone with the Cobb. Just hold on to your stock parts, for when (not if) you get reffed
