Lots of options here....

If you aren't gonna do a y-pipe:

1) HKS muffler and Courtesy B-pipe will probably give you the deepest tone

2) Greddy will probably be too ricey since it has no resonator

If you want a y-pipe:

Courtesy B-pipe, Y-pipe, stock muffler

You want the most performance while still using a resonator:

Y-pipe, B-pipe, HKS muffler
This is my setup and it is pretty loud and deep. I love it and I don't find it ricey, but some people won't want their sedan to sound like a sports car. It sounds very much like a NA 300 ZX with an exhaust. The sound doesn't say, "hey, look at me" instead it says "yeah, there's something cooking under this hood".

i recommend courtesy b pipe and stillen's stainless

HKS is even better in tone..but it tends to rust over time

Stay away from the Stillen and HKS>>

Stillen muffler is a cheap Dynomax muffler with a chrome tip welded on to it. It drones and doesn't sound that good at all, I know I had it and got rid of after a month. HKS rusts and the hangers fall off, but if you're in the sunny states then don't worry bout it. Greddy is high quality but it drones. I recommend Apexi, they are very high quality and they don't rust. They are coming out with a catback in couple of months. I have the N-1 muffler with 2.5"resonator catback, and I luv it. Its really deep and not obtrusive. It comes with a silencer which makes it really quiet.

GReddy w/o y-pipe sounds pretty good, it does have a small resonator.

With y-pipe, I dunno... haven't heard anything I've really liked.

resonator from the stock B-Pipe into the Greddy's B-pipe with a Y-pipe install. $40.00 and it did not sound like it had a y-pipe pretty quiet/slight growl.
