very nice...

My next wheels are def gonna be HX's. The question is will I paint them black, gunmetal, or bronze? HX's always look sick and 14" Azenis only cost around $45 a piece.

BTW, 2.5" exhaust piping on a sohc is fine, that is what I'm going to go with...

2.5 cant hurt,
I like it because if you ever upgrade in the future, you wont have to change out your exhaust.
it will work well with a turbo or higher displacement application.

of course 3" would be better on a turbo setup, but 2.5 works good!

if i go with either one 2.25 or 2.5 im planning not to change out the stock exhaust, will that hurt the car. so its basically header, carsound cat, 2.25 piping to stock cx muffler. i dont got much cash for an exhaust. i like to keep the exhaust lookin stock.

Well just think about it, your getting 2.5" piping only to cork it off with a 1.5" in/out muffler.

Mufflers are cheap man, I'm sure you can save another 50$

buy a dynomax or warlock or something from autozone. They're like $30. Not straight through, but neither is the stock muffler.
