Best exhaust advice

I got a 2003 Maxima not too long ago and I've been looking around and I find it hard to tell what exhaust systems are available and what ones are the best when it comes to performance and sound. So far I've only been able to find the Megan Racing Cat-Back that is still in production. I plan on just starting at a Cat-Back for now but can't find any systems I like as much as the tone and volume of a Cattman.

The overall best system is the Cattman 3" system. Although they are no longer produced under the Cattman name, there is (or was) a thread regarding new production of these units through a different provider, MoncefA33. Contact him immediately, these new units are going into production very soon.....if not already.

The overall price is going to be relatively high at about $800, but they are worth it. These are hands down the best sounding catback system.....do NOT sound ricey. There will be some drone around 2k rpm, but that can be resolved by either going with a larger resonator (as I and many other have) and by adding some trunk insulation (even some cheap stuff from Lowes).
