Go with the Borla Hush, i have one on my 03 rex, and I love it. Very stealthy, 3" cat-back system with lots of power, and it looks like stock, so the cops cant **** ya for it.

The Greddy EVO 2 seemed to give decent power when i put it on my car a while back.(But I have HKS Up/Downpipe also). The exhaust sound was pretty quiet but had a sporty rumble to remind you what your driving.(before up/dp was put in).

A cat-back isn't going to give you huge power gains without a downpipe. You may notice it a bit, but they are mostly for the sound. That said, I personally think the Greddy sounds awesome. I have it on my car and I wouldn't switch for anything else. The Borla sounds good too, though. Both are quiet with a grumble but really come to life when at WOT. They do look quite a bit different, though. What do you want it to look like? The Borla looks very stock-ish, while the Greddy certainly doesn't. It all about what you want.

what do you guys think about just getting a magnaflow muffler and having a shop weld up some 3" piping from the down pipe back? my friend did somthing like that to his GTI and it sounds sweet!!!! your thoughts???????
I just had a Greddy Evo II installed today and it has a very nice, low rumble, yet on the freeway it is pretty quiet until you romp on it. I've got a 05 wagon and it's currently connected to the stock DP, I will say that it does resonate at 3500 rpm's and is loud only at that rpm in the car. Below 3200 and above 3700 it's perfect. I think it may be due to the stock DP. We'll see after I go to a full 3" DP to mate with the 3" Greddy...
One downside - very flashy!! Borla Hush has that stock look which is great if you want to avoid the cops. I'll snag some pics and audio clips when I get a chance...

any got a picture of the greddy evo, it sounds interesting, and ive seen the borla hush, its very subtle like veryone is saying, and it sounds nice, i have some clips if u want give me a pm.
I put a Greddy Evo II on my 05 a couple weeks ago. It sounds great; not loud at all. However, I do not feel any power gain. The car accelerates the same as before. I'm sure there was a few horsepower gained, but not enough to notice.
