Depends what you want. Some people just equate nice = as loud as possible which is not right in my mind
If you want SUPER LOUD you want one of the japanese drag exhausts like the buddy club. A step down from them are things like the HKS superdragger and the departure 2. Those are both quite nice but a bit bulky IMO.
The Fujitsubo/Giken exhausts are pretty nice. Not much louder than stock but a very different sound, much deeper and rumblier. Pretty lightweight too. Demon's brother had one of these with 480bhp flowing through it, so pretty well designed.
Then you get the cheaper end of the market with the Japspeed and Berk Tech exhausts, which are copies of the branded Japanese models. Japspeed is loud.

Then there are all manner of crappy ebay jobs like the xs power ones... avoid as they tend not to actually fit!

Not if, when! If you want a turbo do the swap straight away, you will save yourself unbelievable amounts of hassle!!

Put a tubby engine into it, you will pick up a forged one for little money. It's an easy well proven and well documented conversion. Or find the v6 3.3l camry solera engine that beast is great. But not the 3l one, that's limp.

Mikey's 3L V6 was certainly not limp...

The thing is i got the MR2 to have some fun as i miss my lex, and i just dont have the cash or time to do a swap right now!! ( f***k me it took me 3 years to do the V8 in the Lex lol as i started it right away and did not wait till i had the parts) nooooo i dont want to go down that road just yet!!!, i want to get the car on the road as soon as ( well with in 3 months) but in that time i have a list as long as me leg of thing to get for the MR2, "IE" wheels, brakes, 2 front seats, tyres for the wheels, brake lines, body kit, light kit, back lights, side lights, paint car, and so on..... thats just some of the items i want to get in the comeing months, then on top of all that if i do turbo the MR2 i have all that to get as well,
