I ended up blowing up the cat and JDL replaced the header under warranty. I chose to sell it rather than reinstall, because I was trading in my '13. Note that they no longer warranty the cat.

TL;DR - Catless header or don't bother, unless you just want that UEL sound.
I currently have the following and it is a bit too loud especially at startup.
JDL uncatted UEL header
JDL 3" catted OP/DP with resonator
Perrin 2.5" resonated

I think the 3" OP/DP is causing a volume increase.
Would adding back the stock OP/DP quiet it down a bit?
