Default exhaust system for LX complete

I am looking into replacing the entire exhaust system for my 93 LX. What lengh and size headers should I be looking at? I want to put flowmasters on also. As for the mid pipe, not sure what to get. I am in PA and emissions is visual on my car so I am unsur if I sould get a mid with cats or not. Advice needed and apperciated. Thanks,

just go online and summit racing will have all your needs, 1 5/8's shorty headers and a high flow cat set up/h-pipe config and a 2 1/2 inch flowmaster cat back and call it a day

long tubes/no cats have fun with your muffler choice there are a million....but magnaflows would sound good with long tubes and no cats...not too loud...maybe dynomax

like posted above there are a million options when it comes to headers (flowtech, bbk, mac, bassani, hooker, etc etc etc) and theres even more when it comes to midpipes and catbacks.

is there a certain reason you want to go with flowmasters? :/

stay away from flowtech... horrible fitment, and prob not the best soudning exhaust out there...

BBK shorties... matching mid pipe, and Mac catback, will give you a real muscle sound, classic 5.0 sound

there is an exhaust sticky btw and you can check out many different sounding 5.0's to get a general idea of what your car will sound like.

I went with the pypes system uuuggghhh. The cheap stainless headers for 125.00 off ebay fit perfect though.
