I waited for for more than a year and a half to get an exhuast that i would be satisfied with, i hate Stillen and i won't let it ruin my car, the whole design and the mufflers almost touch the ground and they are big, so i waited, FI exhaust came out, but i don't like home made fabricated exhaust so i waited for something to come, then Tanabe and HKS came out, i didn't like Tanabe because i don't want to find a bird nest or stray cat sleeping inside the muffler with all that huge tips as it's door, and the HKS looks like ricer stuff and i didn't like it's tips size too, i was thinking about getting Impul exhaust from Japan, but hey $3k for cat back and it's not even titanium, no thanks, and finally the answer came out, Invidia Q300 exhaust, top quality product, made in Japan exhaust, nice looking tips both in color and design, so i went for it, and it's cheaper than FI/Stillen catbacks, check it:

PROS:
1) 100mm tips (compared to the 115mm of the GReddy)
2) Price is great for a full catback that gets rid of the stock y-pipe!
3) Polished SS is nice!
CONS:
1) Robby's soundclips in his Invidia thread makes the exhaust seem loud too loud for my taste, but I guess that's the case with all exhausts when you open up the system, get rid of the restrictions, and make it more free-flowing.
2) Although they'll be partly hidden when installed, the canisters look ugly to me. I can't stand the bean shape and don't care much for the double edges.
3) I can definitely do without the Ti burnt tips.
This is what I'm leaning towards: The 5zigen Fireball Mega exhaust (picture attached).
PROS:
1) 100mm tips and the canisters look decent.
2) The two clips of this exhaust on a V36 sedan that are currently on youtube sound REALLY NICE.
3) Reviews that I found through Google also say that the exhaust is quiet.
CONS:
1) $1367 (shipped) for a mid-pipe exhaust. However, that's still A LOT cheaper than Fujitsubo (also a mid-pipe exhaust). *NOTE - Though it's more restrictive, keeping the stock y-pipe seems to quiet down the exhaust system (which is what I want in terms of sound)...
2) 6-8week wait...

That is a great exhaust. Thats really sexy 
The 5zigen , Impul, Amuse and Tommy Kaira exhaust were all my mind. They are all great exhaust but very expensive. The Invidia is as close as i can get without paying over 1,300 for an exhaust.
Down the line, i will get the Amuse exhaust but i love mine for now.

There is only bad thing about the MXP. Looks like you have to cut your bumper to fir the quad tips.

Ya, I went back to Rick's thread and saw that. The tips, and the Y pipe may be deal breakers for most.

Impul exhaust is about $2,700, and their full titanium y-pipe back exhaust $6,600 
.
I wish if Impul USA would start making it, it'll cut the price by at least %50, and i guess maybe some people didn't know, but Impul make's the exhaust system for Nismo, which means Impul/Nismo are %98 the same, and they're being made in the same factory in Japan.

I don't see how they make any sales if the price in Japan (without conversion) is anything close to that.

I don't know how to explain this, but living in Japan is another story, for example the their salary would be something like $40k a month, and a news paper would cost $300, an orange would cost $100, it's not true but it's an example.
My uncle went to Japan once long time ago for some business trip, he said that he paid $200 for the taxi just to pick him up from the hotel and take him to the airport.
