go wit watever the size of that header is, no point of getting anything larger than the downpipe size...2-2.25 the most....unless you plan to do some more work to the engine...

It doesnt really matter what the size of the header are, it depends on the size of your catylic convertor. My OBX headers hooked directly up the my catylic convertor and then your exhaust system follows so really it depends on whether or not you are keeping your stock catilyc convertor. If you are, then look for an exhaust that says it is a direct replacement or will bolt right up without doing anything. Headers--->Catylic Convertor--->exhaust system

oh ok...a buddy of mine's has a magnaflow cat for sale still in box (cause he got rid of his honda) ...it states that it's direct fit, but it's only 2" .....will that downgrade my performance and produce a farty sound?....cause that's what i DON'T want

If its direct fit then it should work fine. Don;t know how big the stock one is though. The catylic convertor can be a bottleneck but I chose to leave mine stock...oh well. lol Anyways, the farty sound is based on the muffler and exhaust that you have. Though im sure someone on here will provide a more in depth answer. I would try looking online or calling honda and finding out the specs on everything before you buy the cat.

i appreciate your help man!....i just found out that my headers are 2.25 so i actually went out online already and purchased a 2.25 magnaflow cat....the muffler itself is also a magnaflow...so i'm hoping this whole application'll (2.25 obx ceramic headers, magnaflow cat, and muffler) give me the performance, and sound that i'll like...

once i get them installed i'll give the crew a few review of the power gains, performance, and sounds of a (2.25) obx ceramic headers, magnaflow cat, and magnaflow muffler.
