Custom exhaust piping

I am looking to put a new exhaust on my 95 pro lx (1.5 liter). Does anybody have any suggestions on what size I should get the piping custom made? Also, does anybody have any suggestions on what brand of muffler or exhaust I should get?

I personally opted for the Ravin' exhaust and your local Midas shop is the local distributer for them. They carry T-304 stainless steel universal exhaust for imports and the quality is very good. I opted for them because I did not want the "weed wacker" sound that most other imports have. The Ravin' has low growl much like a big block car's exhaust. Midas can also custom make your whole exhaust pipe, however my local Midas shop did not carry a Mandrel bender and they did not have any stainless steel for the piping, so I will get mine done later whenever I find a shop that has stainless steel pipes and a Mandrel bender. If you are getting your whole exhaust done, might as well go stainless steel from the cat-back, it will definitely last longer. 2" is good if you're staying N.A. but if you're thinking of going force induction, then 2.25-2.5" is the way to go.

Sal, I was wondering about pricing on your Ravin exhaust. You said sound is good, but how is performance? Which muffler did you get? Also, do you have any idea how much a mandrel bent pipe would cost?
