Post Question on cat-backs

Hi all,
I was hoping to get some feedback from people on here (some opinions on which exhaust system to get).
Currently I'm looking into Apex-i WS , but I've heard it is really pretty much like stock (sound-wise). I saw that Pharoh has one so maybe he can tell me something about it? (is it like that even at accelerating or cruising speeds?)
I don't want a obnoxiously loud one, but definitely something that's different than stock.
I've also heard EVO's tip is too big which raises issues with a rear skirt on civics, and Magnaflow sounds kind of raspy without the resonator.
Also, anyone has any opinions on full stainless steel vs.non (cause I'll be driving even in winter).
For all the research I've done so far WS is on top of my list, but I'd GREATLY appreciate ANY feedback from anyone on this.

Thanks

Magnaflow doesn't sound raspy without the resonator, cuz mine sounds pretty good.... HKS, apex, tanabe is all good, i want to change mine soon. with regular steel piping will last for 3-5 yrs, and stainless apparent last for a long time
