Default Need a little help picking out an exhaust

I'm looking for an exhaust for a 92-95 Civic HB. A lot of the catback exhausts I've seen out there narrow down to 2" right after the flange that bolts the exhaust to the cat and then goes back to 2.25" about 4-5" later. I want an exhaust that doesn't have this restriction. I know the 5Zigen is like this on my friends Integra Type R. I'd perfer something that is straight through. Noise doesn't really matter since this will be mostly a track car, already have a daily driver. I've been looking at the Skunk2/Invida exhaust, anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for the help guys.

If it is a track car the use the stock until you get to the track and then remove the cat-back. Run strait off the cat.

Sorry, I guess I should clarify. This is a road race machine, not a drag car. Don't really want to lose midrange by unbolting the exhaust. Plus I don't want to have to unbolt the exhaust everytime. On top of that some of the tracks around here have an exhaust sound level.

Tanabe Racing Medallion, lightweight, good construction, deep tone and only raspy when going past 8K.

And it doesn't have that bottleneck right? I don't really want to buy an exhaust for $500 and then have to take it to the muffler shop and hack it up.

Actually when a cat is fully warmed up it will reach temperatures in the 1000 degree range. I'll probably just go with the Skunk2 exhaust. I just found some pics of it and it is a constant diameter through out the entire lenght of the b-pipe. Thanks anyways.
