What I am looking? A better sound and keep performance. I am not looking to improve performance or gain HP since I won't be in a race or kind of I just want to feel the placer to drive my car and hear a good sound going out of there.
If only the catback and the headers are needed to achieve a good sound then perfect. If I am missing something else, like other part or maybe tune the car because is needed, please let me know.
Keep in mind I don't know to much about cars so any recommendation is more than welcome.

If not going forced induction in the future I would just with the 2.5 Perrin cat back but I guess the price isn't that far off between the 2.5 and 3.0 so your call.
Just an FYI, any good quality aftermarket header will give you some power, +5-10 hp or so. I know you dont really care about that just letting you know. Those two are very good choices.
Also, you didnt mention a cat version, not sure if intentional or not and its not a problem, but the uncatted versions may give you a CEL light just because the cat is not there. This really dont mean much and will not put your car in a limp mode, it just something to think about.
The CEL light for this code can be turned off with a tune. A tune will get the most performance out of your new headers, maybe another +15-ish hp, but it does cost. You can get an OFT for about $500 new or find used ones for about $400. These are off-the-self tunes meaning they are built for the masses and not for just one car.
I know there are YouTube sound clips out there of a Perrin cat back with a those headers, these are very popular choices.
