Exhausts for the JCW 11' questions

So, I'm thinking of throwing a less restrictive system on my car (11 factory JCW) and am trying to figure out the best way to go. Here is how I see it so far, and would like some advice:

Alta:
tuning readily available and matched DP for later. Also seems to be the company with a great tuner out.

WMW:
Custom set up DP all the way back, looks decent

Quick Silver:
Looks Beautiful, no matched DP but is that really an issue. LIGHT

Akaprovic:
Expensive as hell and beautiful. I know they make great Moto exhausts. Is it just a cat back?

I am really leaning towards the quicksilver, because of the awesome weight savings, but I'm still not sure any ideas?

JCW Exhaust Upgrade...

I'm taking delivery of a 2011 JCW convertible in a few weeks and I want to upgrade the exhaust as well. Milltek is supposed to make a good one as well as Quicksilver. I think Magnaflow also makes one. Let us know what you decide to do...

There is really no reason to change out the exhaust on your factory JCW. Read through all of the posts here on NAM. Maybe 2 or 3 people have done this.

I like the factory pipes on my '09. But I would like to replace the downpipe. Does anyone make an aftermarket downpipe that will bolt to the factory rear pipes?
