Quiet Exhaust ?

Quiet Exhaust ?
As the title states, I'm looking for a quiet (ish) exhaust for cheap.
So far my options have been:
$50 stock NA exhaust (50k miles)
$200 Bosal Kit from Rockauto.com
Leaning towards the stock NA exhaust, but if the bosal system is stainless/will last longer I may be more inclined to go this route. Unfortunately, googling around did not answer that question as no one seems to say exactly what this specific exhaust is made of.
The car has a manzo catback now, and I quite hate it with the hardtop on. And it's rattling anyway. Clutch job means I have to pull the exhaust so I'm better off replacing it. The bosal kit includes a new midpipe and all the gaskets.
Anyone have any input?

Another vote for OEM. The Bosal would be basically equivalent to the OEM, and OEM will cost you less, and you can probably recoup the same $50 you spent on it when you get a new exhaust later.

I have a turbo car, so I know the amazing muffling turbos have.
But i love the slowness of the car too much. So stock exhaust it is.
It's a bit aged, shows it, and no one wants it because it's a pos ebay exhaust.
I could probably sell it afterwards sure. But it's rattling and I don't know if it's muffler packing or hitting something on the car. I can find out when I take it out though.

I just put this exhaust on my 96 miata
SRS STAINLESS STEEL CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR 90-97 MAZDA MIATA - ORDER TOTAL US $212.49 Free shipping
had to grind off the bolts on the back of the Cat but the new exhaust sounds awesome... so much bass
I also just threw out the old stock muffler, the muffler was fine but the pipes were rusted out, the exhaust came with a little baffle but it is not really loud so I didn't use it
the bracket shifted when I was test driving it, melting the bumper a little bit
