Well as luck would have it, today's your lucky day since I'm doing exactly the same thing! My car's a 1997 but it's mostly the same.
In the front, of course, you have the JT downpipe.
Next is the cat. I ordered a Magnaflow cat from Jeg's high performance (http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=84491&prmenbr=361). They've got a pretty good price on the cat, and they also have the band clamps mentioned below so I could order everything at once.
The cat connects easily to the frontpipe because the cat pipes are 3" I.D. and the JT is 3" O.D. so the cat pipe slides right over the JT.
After the cat, I'm having a custom pipe made by a place I found on the web (http://www.stainlessworks.net/). This is a 15" length of 3" O.D. stainless pipe that is swaged down to 2.5" O.D. on one end. Near the large end, I'm having them install an O2 sensor bung since my car requires an oxygen sensor after the cat. I don't think your car has this.
What I'll do in the rear is cut off the existing flange on the front of the Saber system and expand the end of the Saber pipe to 2.5" I.D. so it'll fit over the pipe mentioned above.
Then all the joints get clamped together with stainless band clamps, also available from Jeg's.
If you can wait about a week, I'll tell you how it all works out! :^)
