2.5RS exhaust systems

Educate me, please.

My sister has purchased a '05 (I think) 2.5RS. She wants it to be louder. I told her I would investigate exhaust systems for it. I'm pretty sure she doesn't care about more horsepower, she's really just looking for a sound. No full-length systems, cat-back is good enough. Build quality should be reasonable, price should also be reasonable, but doesn't have to be dirt cheap. Noise level is also another factor, here is a source https://carwrenching.com/best-s2000-exhaust/ ...she lives in a neighborhood, with cranky neighbors. If it's too loud, that'll be a problem. I would make a recommendation, but I am clueless about Subarus. Will any systems that fit a WRX also fit the RS? I can't imagine they're much different from the cat back.

In related news, she has relinquished her old car (a '96 Saturn SL2 with the completely-rebuilt-by-me engine, with somebody damage due to her being a terribly unsafe driver) to me for $1. What's the highest placing S-series in Challenge history? I can't beat it, even the Challenge budget is too big for me at this point.

She could just take it to an exhaust shop and have them cut out the resonator or muffler, and weld a pipe in instead. Or you could find a bolt-on muffler delete so she can go bak to stock if she doesn't like it.
