You're gonna find that most people have subjective opinions on exhaust. What one person thinks sounds great, another will think is bad. And as far as performance goes, just about all exhaust systems are going to be close in HP numbers. There may only be a 4-6hp difference between them which you wont feel in real world daily driving.
My suggestion is to spend some time on youtube. Listen to different sound clips and when you hear one that you really like...contact the owner of the vid and find out what their exhaust consists of.
Good luck!

sometimes you get what you pay for. keep that in mind before buying an "ebay" exhaust
also, you have to understand the nature of the beast when considering sound. Factory exhausts are restrictive. they are that way because they do what they are supposed to (other than emission) and that is to provide a nice quiet ride that the average everyday consumer with no thought of tuning will enjoy. They are quiet due to the diameter of the tubing, the resonator and the type of muffler. If you buy an aftermarket exhaust, you are buying a free flowing system that is not hindered as harshly as a factory part. it may have a resonator but typically they are not as restrictive. the muffler will likely be a single chamber free flowing design that does almost nothing to reduce the noise level.If you want an aftermarket exhaust you need to understand that there will be noise that you will HAVE to live with. If you don't like the noise, put the factory parts back in place. there are very few systems out there that are going to give you crazy powerful sounding angry noises when you floor it without a drone during normal speeds. If you just want to sound powerful when you floor it and don't want to live with the noise when you are driving like a normal person then an aftermarket exhaust is not for you. If you can live with the noise to a point and want a few extra horsepower, go for it. If you want more power without more noise, don't even consider headers, as they WILL increase the noise level. no exhaust is perfectly fit to everyones tastes. listen to goofy youtube videos of people walking there camera to different points on the ground as the floor the accelerator and see what you like. If you really want the gains you will learn to live with the noise. If you can live with the noise then you will truely be happy. best of luck in yourt decision
