I want to get a new exhaust for my 97 DX hatch. However, the car has a B16a2 swapped in it. With a cat back designed for a hatch mount with the B16 header?

no
heres the situation
1: if you order an exhaust for your hatch, the cat or test pipe's bolt holes will not line up with a b-series header, it's off by about 1/4 of an inch
2: a course you can't use 99-00 si or integra exhaust so......\
3: custom exhaust...... more money $$$$

heres how to correct the problem:
1: cut the pipe right before the cat or test pipe, than turn and bolt the cat or test pipe onto the header than wield it back together OR buy a pipe clamp 11$$ from advance auto or any other parts store and clamp the pipe back together.
2: buy adjustable test pipe and you can turn it that way 90$$
