I would use a GSR Transmission, bolts directly on, and the gear ratios are tight as Hell. We had the same set-up in our Hatch before we went to the H22A.
As for the Catalytic Conveter... Damn, we just welded in a Flex-Pipe

well i got the carsound cat of ebay brand new on my 93 coupe and it works perfect for my lil d15b vtec . when i ran straight pipe i didnt have any luanching power becuase there was no torque(no back pressure). now that i have that cat its like a new motor, not a torque monster but enough for me

its ok man just take a deep breath, alright listen. You can use the stock cat and your catback however, in order for it to hook up to the integra header, you need to weld about a 2 to 2 1/2 inch extension from the header the the cat. thats what i did. Or you can by the integra cat and im not sure but you might be able to get away without welding. either way, u can still use your catback exhaust. Just do what i did and weld the 2 inch pipe trust me its cheap

Re: Which Cat Converter?? (Lscivichatch92)
so then wat happens if i wanna get an aftermarket header? i dont wanna have to chop that up just to extend the down pipe to the cat...it would be better just to buy the ls cat right?

1st off, a downpipe is only on a turbo
2nd, ur ls exhaust manifold is gonna be just as long as an aftermarket header so if u did weld a piece to the cat to extend, it would be good still if u got an aftermarket header.
3rd, im tired of trying to tell u the right way man, just make ur own mistakes, thats the only way ur gonna learn whether it be wasting money or when something dont fit right. we all went through that misery, its just something u have to deal with in this hobby
