Default Best catback exhaust system for civic?

I have a 95 civic sedan that runs a D15 and i will put a turbo on it in two weeks, I want to buy an exhaust, but i don't know which one. I want three things, 1.) descent cost, 2.) Direct fitment 3.) Descent performance. Any ideas for catback exhaust systems for sedans on turbo?

Anything 2.5" or larger. Check ebay for cheap catback exhausts, otherwise expect to pay at least $400 for a decent "name brand" catback exhaust.

I have a turbo D15 sedan right now, I got a generic N1 off of ebay and i'm going to have custom 2.5" piping run from the cat to the muffler, should be about $200 when its all said and done.

The metal rods are placed so that they'll fit into the rubber hangers, and are then welded onto the muffler.

OBX type H. Everybody dogs this brand but it really sounds good on my turbo D16.

so the catback system you bought the metal rods came already welded and fit right into the hangers right? That OBX Type H is awesome, i was really looking at that exhaust.

Really good exhaust, and cheap too. Never had any problems with it and it's still shiny after 2 years.

Exhaust manifold got torn off the block and fucked the turbo. 800 dollar greddy intercooler that was my birthday present from my friends/gf/family got squashed sideways and ruined. I only lost about 4K .
