Default Exhaust question... and opinion

OK two things, one a question other the opinion and pics if possible. So im looking for exhaust and after a mildly failed attempt at choosing just mufflers and getting pipes bent. Thinking hey if im gonna do it do it right so needless to say my price range went up. Im currently looking at three main options for my 94 auto and wanted opions. Either choosing 2.5" corsa as bout everyshop that they cost alot in recommends and getting morroso headers and random tech cats installed, choosing same headers but with magnaflow cats and new 3" cat back thet they now have out, or going smoothflow full 3" header back system with just magnaflow mufflers. Any body try more then one or heard any pros and cons to them? Also i really like corsa's tips above all else that ive seen, however the magnaflow mufflers have 3.5" tips too just not slashed and look good as well. However, anybody try the full magnaflow cat back? i have a feeling the quad 4" tips would look too big? any pictures? sorry for the long post.

I've tried the Magnaflow axle backs not the new system though. It sounded pretty good but the resonance in the car was awful around 1500 rpm. I was running an Xpipe with the Magnaflows. I had Flowmaster Super 40's with the stock tips wielded on before that. Not good.......same thing only worse. Now I have the Corsa's, no headers or high flow cats though though. No resonance at all. Easy install and over all fit. I love them!!! I wasted a lot of money trying to save money on exhaust. I should have just got the Corsa's to start with.
