BEST Headers and Exhaust for 98 lude?

I have a 98 Lude and am wondering what kind of headers are best for my car. I hear Megan racing isn't bad along with SMS, or are custom welded stainless steel headers better and cheaper? What about exhaust. I like N1 apexi and Skunk2. Is custom fitted piping (2.5") best and cheapest, or should i buy the whole damn catback as it is. What is the best piping size for a N/A lude?....I want to achieve at least 210hp

Also...this maybe a noob question, but why are all headers that i see 1.75/2" inlet/outlet and the exhaust is 2.375 or 2.5.....and the mufflers are all 4" tips, wouldn't that reduce a lot of back pressure aka torque, or am i just delussional

Thank you for your suggestions...

Totally delusional. Back pressure is NOT AKA torque. TQ is produced by the engine directly.
