What is the best CAT back exhaust to get?

I have a 2002 WRX Sedan and I want to get a CAT back exhaust. I want something that is good quality and gives me a little more HP and some meaner sound. I do not want somethign that is goign to set car alarms off when I drive down the street.

HKS is the best system, great quality has the most proven hp gain.

edit also it's 50 state legal, within decibal ratings, papers can be recieved from HKS to show this.

Cat back alone doesnt do that much. Just get a Blitz NUR Spec R, good power gains and nice sound.

i have an HKS Hi. it's pretty good. I like the sound. Anything louder would be too much for me.

proven power.. good stuff. only thing i don't like is the pop. at certain RPMs in 3rd gear, i hear popping.

I'd say the Blitz or HKS catback.
Or maybe Cobb..... i have yet to buy a cat back and i'm trying to make up my mind between these 3.

Can I find these places on the web? What are the web addresses.

And are you telling me that I can get the HKS CAT BACK for 300 bucks or around there? All I can find is HKS cat backs for like 750 dollars.
