@Fritz zozobrado

Going to assume you're talking about for a naturally aspirated (non supercharged/turbocharged car) with a tune. So, after upgrading to a catless header (like you have), you're not going to see much for gains with the other parts (especially for a DD car that is NA). So choice will come down to budget, pipe diameter, aesthetics, sound, materials and build quality.

Header - UEL Tomei - catless - Gain + 7 -10 WHP NA on 91-93 octane pump gas.
Overpipe - Any aftermarket - Gain + 1-2 WHP NA on 91-93 octane pump gas.
Frontpipe - Any aftermarket (If catless, then recommend resonated to cut down on noise/drone) - Gain + 5 WHP if catless on 91-93 octane pump gas.
Mid-pipe - Stock midpipe or the midpipe that comes with a catback exhaust system - Gain + 1 - 4 WHP NA on 91-93 octane pump gas.
Muffler - Any aftermarket axleback if using stock midpipe or any aftermarket catback exhaust system. Also you may choose dual or single exit. Single exits are usually quite a bit lighter. - Gain + 1 - 4 WHP NA on 91-93 octane pump gas.

That's about it.

It's hard to give a recommendation on exhaust combo without really knowing what you want. What kinda sound are you after, budget, etc.

This should give you what your are looking for. I have the same exhaust with the OFH which is similar to the Tomei and I have the nice rumble but not very loud. Love it actually

I like the sound of Sean's car from Goodwin racing. Sounds perfect and quiet. He's got tomei headers with the thermal r&d hemholtz catback.

You can safely factor in an extra 20% if not more increase in decibels of any exhaust when used with the Tomei UEL. EL are a different story. Great build quality and performance but have them heat coated before installing. Makes a big difference to under hood temps.
