I like the corksport 
but then I might be biased cause I have it 
but then I might be biased cause I have it I also like the corksport, but again, I own their downpipe and racepipe 
Like everyone says, its just pipe, some with a teeny bend. If it's cheap, go have a muffler show weld flanges onto scrap pipe. Honestly, you will get the same performance. Now, if you did that with a downpipe it would be much different

Now, if you did that with a downpipe it would be much different just have your local muffler shop weld a piece of pipe where the cat is on your mid pipe for like 30-$40 and you will get the same power gains as teh expensive ones. thats what i did until i finally made my own with stainless 3''. I would do that and then spend your saved money on an intake or DP. good luck
Here is a video after installing mine, its a Protege Garage 3-inch pipe:

In the video I also have my 2 resonators and muffler cut out and straight piping welded in there, thats's why its louder. But its MUCH louder in person that the video suggests. Sounds like a boggy/gargly wrx the way its been modded right now.
My friend installed his in the driveway at the same time and put a Turbo XS on there. They all work the same. All are made about the same. Corksport ones look nice but you may have to wait until the end of the year to get them as most places are out of stock. No need for hangars really.
Sound difference should be the same with all same with performance.
I tried havign a muffler shop cut the stock cat out and weld in straight pipe but living in CA they will not do it since it illegal to remove the cat.

Check the classifieds on this site and the "other" MSP site. I've seen a couple of them on the "other" site.
