Mine is Tomei’s UEL catless. But I have heard good things about the hi-flow catted headers. You’re going to get some performance from a new header no matter what. I would change the over pipe too because the stock one has some sharp angles and if you’re keeping the cat in the header and front pipe, maybe you can pick up some airflow on the already uncatted pipes with additional width and smoothing of the pipe angles. My Tomei over pipe is 2.5”

Maybe throw in a K&N drop-in air filter for $60 and call it a day. I’m only doing exhaust work, tune, and a simple filter then leaving the engine alone. I love the NA feel and not trying to mess around too much with a engine that only has 6k miles
