Doesn't your car already have an exhaust system? You haven't really stated any reason why you need or even want a new one. Are you looking for one that is quieter than what you have right now?

Comptech is a good one. Mellow note w/ a bit of resonance at 3-5K typical of most aftermarket exhausts. Quality materials and welding. A bit pricier than the ghetto fab Invidia, Neuspeed, etc... for good reason.

Sound and looks wise, the HKS takes the cake. Similarly priced as the comptech. Cult fav amongst the S2000 crowd.

For the pricier models, i'd go for the amuse Ti dual. looks kinda tin-canish, but the weight savings is pretty significant.

MUGEN! I LOVE IT! GREAT quality sound and not overly loud. Not the greatest aesthetically, but it sounds like you're going mainly for sound.
