Also, are there any concerns with the reliability of aftermarket headers? Will I have to worry about anything breaking down?
I'd ultimately like to get a header and an open flash tablet to increase my horsepower. Are there any other problems that could come with installing an aftermarket header? Thanks!

I believe it says "for off road use only" for headers that are catless, therefor making your vehicle unable to pass an emissions test. The car comes stock with two and altering it down to one effects the final product coming out the exhaust tips. It is most likely there because the item was designed for track use and the company does not want to get sued. This is my theory anyways, hopefully someone can back me up.
There should be no reliability issues with an aftermarket header if you buy from a reputable brand. I would strongly recommend digging through the forum for user reviews and dynos. If longevity is a concern of yours, you can a ceramic coating for the header.
I will be in the same market as you shortly. Headers and OFT once I move to my new house and rent goes down substantially.
Have you considered the OFT and the OFH together? I am consider the OFH, the JDL, or the Nameless. Havent made up my mind yet
