what's the best catback exhaust as far as fitment is concern?
by fitment i meant no low hanging muffler (at least not too low).

The Nameless axle back on my 2013 FR-S doesn't hang down low.

Main reason one buys catback usually is better sound. I guess that should be primary criteria over all the other parameters (except maybe quality, as i doubt many will find acceptable for welds to crack & rust through in year after purchase/install).
Fitment? In lot of cases issues can be fixed with retightening/other hungers/hammering/etc

lol all of them, probably even most ebay ones. I can't imagine it'd cost much to have a muffler shop fix it. You should worry about the sound, and for that no one can help you. Only you know what sounds good to you

In terms of low hanging catbacks I would avoid the Megan single exit, it's known to hang very low relative to others.

The Invidia R400 hangs a bit lower than most catbacks.
Also some catbacks have bends that make getting a floorjack under the diff more difficult. Just something to look out for.
