What you should do is stick to a critical path with your car. Fix what's messed up and needs to be addressed FIRST before you go solving problems you don't have, or modding something (that gives no real "gain") that creates more problems you don't need.

If you NEED an exhaust system and don't mind getting hassled by the 'man (keep in mind, this is going to be pretty loud) go ahead and do it. I've heard the summit x-pipes are pretty decent. Keep in mind that this exhaust will not be legal for reasons Justin mentioned.

If you don't NEED an exhaust system, save the cash or put it towards some other flaw with the car that keeps it from knocking down the times it should.
Precisely. It's your car and money so do what you want but if you want to be louder then add horsepower not bigger exhaust. Big pipes on a mildly modified motor will do nothing but make noise - If that's what you want then go ahead but in reality you just come off as obnoxious. Any quality single 3" catback will flow enough to make serious HP... Once again, look at my car for proof of this.

Loud but slow =
Quiet but fast =
