If you're daily driving any distance, you'll want something that errs on the side of quiet (but still louder than stock) with no droning. The HKS would be a good choice in that regard because it's dead quiet at neutral throttle and when cruising on the highway but it'll scream nicely when at wide open throttle. I found the FI cat-back to be too loud honestly but it's a personal choice.

The other consideration is rasp. Some combinations of testpipes/high flow cats and certain exhausts produce rasp which many think sounds "cheap" but it's definitely not as pleasant-sounding as a smooth, deep exhaust note that sounds like ripping silk towards redline.
