Fast Intentions sources their cans, tips and resonators from Sebring Tuning.

The components are a work of art, seamless and perfect. Painting them would be a disservice.

I agree, I was talking about painting the Top Speed mufflers. I sometimes think the mufflers are a little too visible on my Tanabe axleback, but there's a certain distinctive aftermarket look to it that I like.

Vibrant. Not quite "budget" but worth every penny. And they have flat black ones.

I drove around with no rear mufflers/ exhaust tips for months before finally buying a cat-back exhaust.

If you like it than you can just take the mufflers to a exhaust shop and tell them to straight pipe it
Totally didnt know that they were bolt ons! I'm probably gonna give that a try.

Axle back is mufflers only. Y or cat back is everything up to the cats.

Axle-back is just the mufflers, with the short section of clamp pipes that fits over the OEM midpipes. Tanabe is the most popular axle-back, so much so that I don't even know if there are others.

Y-back includes the mid-pipes after the Y, typically including a pair of resonators. Topspeed makes a Y-back system.

Cat-back includes everything after the catalytic converters, and is a full replacement exhaust (except for cats).

As for the cats, there are all kinds of aftermarket replacements: high-flow cats, resonated high-flow cats, test-pipes, and resonated test-pipes.

Top speed makes axlebacks for coupes and the sedan have the y back. There are only one axleback for the sedan of which I know of just like rochester mentioned.
