It won't make much of a difference, but you'll need to have a larger flange welded to the cat. I'd go with a custom high-flow cat. If you plan to keep the stock cat, you're better off just running a quality bolt-on header with the standard 2" collector.

Its going to bottleneck at the cat which will be a horrible restriction. Get a 2.5" carsound cat and exhaust along with it.

so would it be worth getting a jdm itr header with 2.5" collector? with a carsound cat or should i just stick with my dc-4-1 header and stock cat?

Nice plug.

I like their fancy name for "resonated test pipe".
