Default will hytech header fit?

I'm looking to upgrade my 96 integra gsr stock exhaust to a full 2.5" exhaust system.
My car is basically stock right now just got a short ram in there. This is my daily and I plan to do a NA rebuild later on to reach my 200whp goal.

I've been doing some researching and this is what I've come up with so far.
1. Hytech replica header

2. 2.5 " ID 300 cell density Metallic Substrate Universal Catalytic Converter Magnaflow part #59956

3. 4" Round Body, 22" body length, 2.5" ID Satin Stainless Magnapack Resonator- Magnaflow part #10436

4. Stainless Stell 2.5 INCH, Mandrel bend tubing kit from vrsexhaust.com

5. Magnaflow 5x8x18 2.5" Oval Muffler part #14256

Would this be all I need or do you see any problem with this setup, fitting wise?

Also I heard that the hytech style header uses a longer and would move where my stock cat would be. Would this cause a problem for me? I also read somewhere that I may need a flex pipe to prevent my header from cracking.

why dont you just buy the header, cat, resonator, and muffler you want and have an exhaust shop fill in the gaps and weld it up for you.

your gonna need to ditch the cat and resonator and you gonna need some sort of canister exhaust that it straight through. 200 pretty hard to hit your gonna need all the help you can get.

how about the 2.5" tubing from vrsexhaust that I'm going to order from? Should I get it there or get my exhaust shop to make me the mandrel bend tubing? Also I'm going to to need a donut gasket right? Does that go right after the header?

would I need to order an extension pipe to connect my hytech replica header to the cat? or does would I be able to connect the header and cat with just the donut gasket on my 96 integra gsr.

if the flange on your cat is 2.5" then the cat and header will bolt together no problem and the exhaust shop can do the rest

I just received my high-flow cat, resonator and muffler. Now just waiting for the header to get it all done up at the shop. I was wondering how does it all connect together? I'm guessing you got to flare one of the piping out so the other can slip in right? After that it gets welded right? What about the flanges? How does that work.
