Dumb Question But Hey
Okay I got a 99 hatch with a ls swap, I'm planning on getting a catback. When I but the catback exhaust do I buy it for my swap or the model of my car? So in other words do I get the exhaust for the model of my swap or model of my car?

The stock cat for your car will not meet up with the exhaust manifold of the LS.
You can take it to a muffler shop, and for pretty cheap, they'll extend the pipe, and rotate the flange a bit so it meets up.

96-00 DX have the cat/header combo crap.
so if you have a LS swap i take it you don't have a cat right now... so basicly you have to order a JDM spec exhaust that has room for a under car cat. If you get a US 96-00 hatch exhaust it will reach all the way to your down pipe like your stock exhaust does.
if you get a US, you can just have it modifed to fit a cat of your choice.
good luck.

to get all the bends right u may want to go with the yr of ur car then extend it to the ls cat..but im not sure if u want to use that piping if the ls piping is wider..id probably go with a custom mandrel setup on this and let the shop get the right cat. and pipe sizing for u..
i had this problem on my G3 exhaust project where i want d 2 1/2" piping mating up to cat.
