sorry i am a noob with cars, but isn't it just a pipe connecting the header to the cat-back? So essentially it's just a pipe so it's personal preference regarding brands.. and fitment

pretty much, you can have one welded for 30 bucks, two flange, one o2 bung and some bolts and nuts.

there's one brand that has a bracket to mount the OEM heatshield, which is a big plus if you live in smog nazi state like california.

i just got a brand new invidia and the quality and fitment is nice. do not get the megan racing resonated test pipe . the T1R has the bracket to use the OEM heatshields but they eventually break off due to vibration.

i would order

Invidia or Berk

It's not really that.

It's that it's been known to break at the welds before the resonator.
