Which exhaust do YOU recommend?
Please note that I am out of adderall 
so if you feel that my level of knowledge is inferior and that I am rambling, then f*ck you
I'm sure there's a million and one threads about exhausts. But, I don't have time to read each one. So, like many others, I start a new thread about the same topic.
I ask, which exhaust do you recommend?
and you say, well it depends on what you want, your price range, etc.
Then I tell you that I don't want to cheap out, but I also don't want to spend $1000 on a deep, rumbling sound. I want quality sound. Not expensive sound. Go figure, who doesn't? I'm really looking into a magnaflow. The purr is unique. But it's also almost $600. Would a magnaflow muffler sound as good as the whole catback?
Also, "catback" means from the catalytic converter, back. That's what everyone says, but no one ever answers me when I ask, does it remove the cat? or are catbacks built to accommodate the stock cat?
So, in conclusion, I want a nice sound, but the less expensive, the better. I will dig up some money from between the couch cushions if need be. I would have loved a magnaflow exhaust for Christmas, but instead I got money that I mostly spent on my student loans. The rest went to gas, food, and my brazzers subscription renewal. Let me know what you guys can dig up.

^That is literally false information. Wow, um any way. The term cat back refers to what is behind the catalytic converter and on to the muffler. *end rant
Now what you could do (and I have PERSONALLY done this and had success) is get a universal magnaflow muffler welded on by a muffler shop. Best way to do it cheap hands down, maybe even go to your local import motorsport shop and see if anyone has a used muffler hanging around the brackets can easily be welded so it will fit your car. (I got mine from an Accord and made it work $20)
As far as the catalytic converter goes, buy a test pipe (unless you live in a smog state if you do don't touch the cat) these can be found on ebay for around $60.
Okay onto the test pipe, out 6th gen civics started production in 1996 the same year it was mandatory for automobiles to have an OBDII computer system (smarter) what this means is that instalation of a test pipe will throw a CEL (Check Engine Light). Easiest fix on the planet! All you have to do is buy a home made antifouler (I'll provide a link) and screw that into where your O2 sensor would go then screw O2 sensor into antifouler. You're now good to go!

Forgot to mention if you want a deep tone and not raspy get a test pipe with a resonator in it which is basically just a little extra mesh screening on the side. (doesn't restrict flow)

Yes your common cat back comes with the piping from the cat down to the muffler and the muffler too. Then their are some packages that come with a new cat.
