the 3 to the cat shoud be fine. i forget the dimensions for the two for the axle back but can be found online somewhere im sure. or someone can chime in. last time i was installing my stock exhaust i asked and got an answer from the SSR dolphin. tried looking for you, but couldnt find it.
you have a bunch of options.
megan midpipe
rsx midpipe (need rsx header and cat, which would be a nice set up w/stock axle back)
custom, i would def add a resonator
better muffler on your current exhaust. may be the cheapest option.
if your running the header/cat, i dont imagine it would be too loud. i ran megan shorty/tp and catback. that was loud! it wasnt too bad before the header/tp. what im running now is basically a dc stealth "oval" muffler on that catback. its way quiter. with the stock cat i imagine it would be a really nice mellow sound. no drone im willing to bet!
so in my opinion, if your ticket was just for the sound, add a muffler and or a resonator. magnaflow style sounds best. chambered mufflers sound raspy on 4 bangers. jones full boar is a knock off of magnaflows. they run about half the price on ebay. you could buy a magnaflow from autozone for $80. you can ball out and buy a vibrant street muffler and matching res for about $220 then have them welded in. the problem i had with vibrant is shipping and wait time. the problem i had with jones and magnaflow is that the 4x9 mufflers were center/offset ins and outs. to work with our exhaust we need a center in and out. magnaflow makes one but jones doesnt. niether come with a tip and the magnaflow would have to be shipped.
i went to pep boys and found the dc im running now. its basically a vibrant look alike. looks and sounds good in my opinion. center in and out. basically fit perfect on my catback. i still need to add another res to be happy. but im able to hold off now because i can tolerate it more.i would try this and go from there.
