Exhaust help!!!

I was thinking an ultimate racing high flow cat and had NO idea which downpipe to purchase with this setup, ANY input would be appreciated, thanks alot!

This subject/decision is proving quite frustrating for me also.
There are so many exhaust choices out there it's nuts! Considering the prices range from 500 to well over 1000 for an exhaust system, you kinda want to get it right the first time.
Personally, I'm looking for something that may not be louder or much louder than stock, but I want the flow and the HP/Torque increase!
I've seen one video/sound clip that seemed like it was a fairly accurate presentation of the loudness and quality of the exhaust system, but the next guy might have his mic turned down lower and his system, even though louder, may sound quieter! So it's really a hard thing to buy over the internet!
There's hope that some of the guys here on the boards will give their opinions about their exhausts and hope that their impressions will be similar to YOUR impressions if/when you get the exhaust.
Take for example, the Vishnu Signature exhaust. A lot of guys are saying, "yeah, it's way louder than stock." But the sound clips and even some others make it sound just a bit louder than stock. Who do I believe!? Tough call.
Tough decision. Just remember when you guys out there see the exhaust questions popping up on the boards over and over again, there's real people behind these frustrated calls for help wanting a person with a good ear and good judgement to help us out on our decisions!!

Well I ordered the Buschur full 3'' from turbo back, and man its LOUD. Im really happy with the power gain, but just trying to adjust to the loudness of the system. I had full 3'' on my Eclipse, but man this is loud! My little girl who is 2&1/2 gets in it for the first time and says "Our car is a Motorcycle" I laughed so hard. Anyway, I am going to order the high flow cat, in and see if that helps, currently the straight pipe is just LOUD. I am currious to see if I put a different type of muffler on, has anyone that ordered the Buschur exhaust, replaced the straight pipe for a high flow cat nottice any difference in the sound? Or has anyone with the exhaust bought a different muffler with it? I notticed at the Buschur site they have under the exhaust section that they will/can use a different muffler with there system....... Anyway..............??

if you are looking for big gains in power than look at the B&B system. They reportedly had gains of 25hp with just their cat-back (maybe a dp too, not sure) system using the stock cat. From the sound clips and people that already have the system, it isn't LOUD at all. It is a brand new system though, so not many people have it. But the power gains are very impressive.

I just received my Buschur exhust and I will be installing tonight or tomorrow morning. I purchased the high flow cat and it will be bolted to the exhaust on the install. I really have no use for the test pipe. I will let you know how loud it is, and the tone it has.

Hope this helps everyone with the way the B&B Tip looks. The entire system looks fantastic...
This is BishiBoys Evo when we had it here...
Hope I posted the pictures correct, first time posting any pics...
Enjoy!
