I could use some help...

I have got a number of questions about a header system so i'll just throw them out there and anyone who can answear any of them will be greatly appreciated. Currently i have an 2002 2.5RS with COBB CAI and COBB exhaust. I have been very pleased with everything from them so i had been waiting to buy their header system as well, untill i saw the price. I mean almos $1k for them coated and a high-flo cat?? Semmed a bit expensive and i don't know what the effects would be should I forego the coating. So now I have been looking at the Brullen header but can't seem to find any prices or links to places selling them. I guess my question is what should I do for around $600 when it comes to getting headers. I want as much power as possible and feel I should replace midpipe/cat section too but don't know how much extra that will be or where to find them either. Also i need to keep in mind emissions and whether im gonna have to go back to stock header system to pass the sniffer every year. Well if you made it to the end i hope you can help. I NEED HP!!!
Thanks

It really depends on what matters most to you, a TWE or Cobb header will be equal length and more expensive but make more power MRT makes an equal length header/cat as well but i'm not sure if you can buy it without their catback exhaust. A Borla or brullen may be less and sound better but will make slightly less horsepower depending on which one you choose. Random Technologies and Stromung both offer high flow cat sections in addition to Cobb, however neither will work with the Cobb header since it is designed not to bolt up to factory locations like the others, adding headers and a cat will get you very nice gains in power you will be plesantly suprised...Emissions depends on your state, If it's CA none are carb legal so you may pass sniffer but not visual.

I could go further on this but i'm sure there will be other people by to add more advice and detail.... Just offering you a few points to ponder.
