What you guys suggest..im looking for something agressive, yet fairly priced... Needs to be 3" And i would prefer a catback...

I think this is all relative. If you want a pretty, shiny, system then get a name brand. The more you spend the prettier it gets.

I've been through probably a dozen or more systems in my DSMs trying to balance noise with flow. A muffler's ability to reduce noise is directly related to the size of the muffler and how much baffling it has. Right now I feel I've got the quietest 3" system out there for my car considering I've got a cat, resonator and regular high flow truck muffler.

Check out the vendors on here and decide how much you want to spend if noise is not an issue. Consider getting something custom made if you want something quieter. 3" is overkill for your car but I understand wanting to do it just once....

Buy whatever muffler you like, then take it somewhere and get it custom made. Pm me and when i get home i will give you the number of a guy who does good work.

Reason i said 3" is because i have a 3" DP...would like to keep it the same, looking for best power and flow...But like i said i LOVE the agressive sound...so now im looking into opinions...

DiD you read what i said? For performance and money wise. I reallty thinks its the best way. Get it full 3inch get em to make it as straight as possible and get to choose what muffler you want for a resonable price of a name brand.

Personally, I have an Apexi and really like it. I'd definitely buy another one.

i've got a thermal research and development....NICE, high flow and pretty quiet compared to others i've heard

If you can weld your own, it saves a good amount of $$$ and works just as effieciently.
I have an apexi and i really like it alot. My buddy welded his own, i kinda like mine better though. The apexi is a thicker metal and ceramic coated i bielive, quiter and smooth
