Straight pipe with Vibrant muffler. Not a lot of choices for exhaust systems atm.

I would consider a downpipe first you haven't already done so. You would get better gains and still change the exhaust tone a bit.

They offer cat or catless options. Either of which should give the exhaust more of a growl if that is what you are looking for. Otherwise it's been shown that the cat-back isn't that restrictive from factory so gains would be minimal at best. Check out PRL's down pipe options

They already said you have to have ktuner to not get a CEL from any downpipe as there is no catted solution that is less restricitive than stock and won't throw a code. So yes, it removes the cat and requires a tune.

HKS is currently prototyping a cat back system. Looking like it will be going into production within a few weeks.

Will it sound like a fart cannon brother?
No. It sounds pretty damn good. It's been proven that a downpipe is not needed right now. The car maxes out with just a custom tune. So I would wait till they make a clutch kit for our cars before adding more bolt ons. Save some money.
