I have a HKS hi power. It seems like the best bang for your buck. I cant believe how much the cat-backs for our cars cost when it just like a little rear section. Im not sure if its exactly the case but the HKS Carbon Fiber Ti looks just like the HKS hi Power with a carbon wrap around the cansiter.

i enjoi my Carbon Ti. it's low and burly, and sounds better then my APEXi N1 did.
on both, i would suggest getting a silencer. they do draw a lot of attention, and a silencer will at least eliminate something to get pulled over for. like it's been stated, they are the same exhaust systems, one just has a carbon fiber wrap. i bought mine for the look.
here's a pic:
