Go for Scoobsport or Scoobymania

I have a bpm - but that would be too noisy for you (so dont think about Blitz/hks or Mongoose either)

any decat free flowing system should produce bhp and torque gains - mostly torque lower down the rev range - as far as peak bhp goes there will be some improvement - but this will be marginal

Contrary to some magazine commentators ideas an exhuast will not increase peak bhp by 20-30hp!

Exclamation

I know of a few UK cars, getting over 330bhp & 280lbft with different exhaust systems!

One runs a full HKS system and the other runs a mish-mash of Scoobysport and Magnex stuff.

Similar performance figures, but different ways of achieving the power.

The way I believe it 3" systems (such as the HKS) helps achieve top end figures, but 2.5" systems (such as Scoobysport and Magnex) help with mid-range figures. I'm not really mechanical, but I sure someone could help further!

Not all free flowing exhausts are noisy, but it's just a case of listening to various options.

Hope this helps
Andy
