thats a prelude.. not a fit. it will sound way different.

check this video
YouTube - Honda Fit Tanabe Tourning Medallion

the greddy sounds just like this but a tad louder.

There really isn't a "right" answer to your question because everyones tastes are different. I have the Tanabe and I think it is the best sounding exhuast on any four cylinder car, bar none. I think this because i didn't want something that would draw attention to itself, good or bad, yet still have a little bit of rumble to it when you step on it. I also drive at highway speeds quite a lot so I really didn't want a lot of drone at mid RPM. I bought mine used, so it was a good deal cheaper than the best internet deal I could scratch up also. Now someone will post the exact same story about the Greddy so you can be just as conflicted as when you started LOL

HKS hi-power exhaust. Exhaust is cocked to the right and sounds great.

I prefer the GReddy SE. I don't like how the Tanabe has a long pipe leading to the tip enough to have a dimple brace.
