Default Exhaust system size?

Hey guys im getting a set of bbk headers to their O/R H pipe and the h pipe is 2.5". Will most exhaust systems bolt right up to this size h pipe, magnaflow, slp, etc. I am thinking of going with the slp system but dont know how it will sound on a carbed car? any help or suggestions? thanks

yea just make sure they are 2.5 in pipes.

and yea the o/r H sounds great. took it in to the muffler shop to have them retighten my cat back, in the in between time of having them install it and me bringing it back in i swapped to an o/r H from stock. the dude from the muffler shop was like "no Fuggin wonder it sounds so damn good! you got an o/r H on there now!" after he got it up on the lift.
