Default 1998 Civic CX cat back exhaust

Any suggestions on a catback exhaust for a 98 CX? I bought a BBP exhaust which was suppose to be for the CX, but had the cat side of the resonator set up for an EX. This is a commuter car that I bought new in 98, so I'm not looking to run anything fancy, and I know I can't really get much out of that engine no matter what I do to it. Would ordering the parts directly from Honda be the best bet?

How is that possible? There is no 96-00 Hatchback with the EX exhaust configuration... hard to believe that if you bought a hatchback exhaust, it ended up being made for having a cat underneath the car rather than in front of the engine like it is on your car.

That's what I thought as well...I figured there would be no problem, but I laid it out under the car before hooking it up and it had the wrong connection hardware on the beginning of the resonator. It had the 3 nut connector instead of the 2 nut for the CX/DX.

You can sort of see the 3 hole flange coming off the back piece of the resonator on this pic. This wasn't where I ordered it from, but it's the same system.

Anyway, any suggestions on a decent catback exhaust? I'm not looking for performance since that seems like money thrown away for a CX.

Thanks.
