Default Which exhaust to get?

Ok guys, finally have the money for an aftermarket exhaust. Any suggestions? Any input would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards the Greddy Evo 2 but...there's a lot of choices out there.
Help me decide!

My choice will be the Injen Straight-tip exhaust.

As asked above, it depends on how loud you want things to be. I installed the Fujitsubo Legalis-R with a gruppe-s Y-Pipe. The results are a very very minor change in tone at idle and an almost small V8 like rumble during accelleration and WOT. Cruising at 80 MPH barely sounds any different from stock. Quality is excellent and I do notice the car rev/flow better. IMO this is the perfect exhaust for someone who wants a little more sound than stock but also wants a stock experience when cruising as a daily driver.
If you want all out gut wrenching sound, this is not the exhaust for you.

I don't want it extremely loud to that point that everybody could hear it a mile away. Just a litttle louder than the stock ones would work best for me. I found this website last night and heard a lot of exhaust sound at: http://www.everything350z.com/exhaust.html. I really liked the NIsmo but second to that is the Injen. So I filipped a coin and ended up getting the Injen with angled tips. Did I make a good choice?

Thanks for the suggestions guys :-)

There is absolutely no rasp with stock cats and the new y-pipe. I have no idea how test pipes may affect it though. Sorry.

I will get either EVO2, RS-R, or other Japanese exhaust.

dunno where this come from?? There are no proof that EVO2 has less backpressure or more back pressure, or it's better suited for turbo than NA. Besides there are misunderstanding regarding backpressure. Most of this misunderstanding comes from tech or people heard from muffler shop who know nothing about flow dynamics or engine design.

I love my Nismo cat-back! It's still quiet while cruising, yet has a throatier sound under acceleration that is only slightly louder than stock. Oh . . . and it works! With Nismo cat-back, CAI, and flywheel, I have beaten two '96 Mustang Cobra's that have 315 hp.
