The stock exaust on my car really sounds pretty sick (in the bad way) I would like to put in a relativly inexpensive cat-back system. Here's the catch. I'm not wanting to sound like a ricer from the line. I want something that is more quiet and reserved, but sounds quality and powerful. Any Sugesstions?

I was planning on the MSP exhaust !?
From what i have heard, it fits your description.

well depends on how much you wanna spend....
racing beat by far i have heard is the best cat back system. largest diameter piping and non obtrusive look, ie, looks more like stock.
HKX and Ractive make good axle back systems and I know the Ractive one can be found for about 200 plus shipping.
Bosal, Thermal, Greddy, TeamMoon all have cat back systems for our cars although I heard Greddy is the most like rice in sound.
Custom systems can be made from local shops for the same or less than a retail one.
There are a few companies who are also in developement of systems for our cars.
I know ractive will have a mid pipe for their axle back system within a yr.

the Racing Beat is by the far the best exhuast if you plan on only a few bolt-on mods...The 2.375" diameter is excellent for a decent kick in power across the entire rev band for a minorly built FS...it it s fairly heavy system, but has excellent exhuast tone
HKS and 5Zigen offer bigger (2.5" or more, excluding the slightly larger than stock HKS axle-back) cat-back systems for around the same price, both being a little more expensive...these will not help with lowend torque, being bigger in diameter, but will help with high rpm breathing...(simplified: you may see a higher peak output with the larger exhuasts, but you will not gain or could loose a little lowend torque)...both of these systems are a little lighter than the RB, but have much more of droning sound at cruising speed, and may have a raspy (rice) acceleration tone..
The MSP factory sport exhuasts are more for sound than performance gains (but you still may pick up a few hp)...I have no experience with them...

Do what Im gonna do. Custom flowmaster cat back. With racing mazda headers and magnaflow high flow cats, but if you just looking for sound ignore this sentence.

I also recommend the Racing Beat, and dealing with ARD is great too!
