What you save with the CNT header, you potentially pay for in QC. You could get one that is great, you could get one that has booger welds and warped flanges made by a hungover Monday morning apprentice. Other "cheaper" options are the Tomei or Groupe-S, those are pretty reasonably priced, shown to have good gains, with good quality. Or hunt used.
Running the stock OP/FP is fine. When it comes to the other exhaust components you are getting progressively diminishing returns. The next step would be a FP with a high flow cat or no cat, but again, you are paying a good chunk a change for not a lot of gain.
If you want a good amount of instant gain look for a 17'+ manual 4.3 dif. Makes a good difference and you can find clean used ones for what a front pipe cost. I got one out of a wreaked car that had 18K miles for 575 shipped to my door.
