Which exhaust is the quietest?
I want to change my exhaust again (have 2.5" crush-bent w/ cat, resonator, and thermal muffler) but it's way too loud. Anyone knows of any good turbo exhaust which is also very quiet?

Keep in mind that your current exhaust will get much more quiet once you get the turbo on.
my dynomax super turbo (~$50 at advance auto parts) 2.25" is reasonable on my NA car with the high flow cat and 2.25" cat-back. I imagine the 2.5" version would sounds good without being too loud on a turbo car.

a 2.5" with cat, resonator and muffler will not be loud.

This is with a 2.25" borla catback with an exhaust leak between the DP & Cat.
The additional turbo noise wont have cops looking if you arent boosting around like a dickwad.

My car is quieter than any miata with an aftermarket exhaust.
I have a Maremont metal cat, a 2.5" Dynomax resonator, and the largest 2.5" straight-through Magnaflow muffler that would fit. I think it's 4x8x22":
