Help buying header need advice!

Hey guys whats up I am buying the zz performance 3" header and was wondering what my gains will be and what i can expect from going with a catless downpipe vs. a highflow cat. Also will there be any drivability loss with no cat? I'm not worried about passing emmsions or haveing to computer block the o2 sensor. Thanks 4 your help.
PS can u guys see the dyno sheet in my sig?

go catless downpipe....IMO i think you will get more of a gain going that way , and a little more rumble

id go with the cti header and downpipe

its pricey but there have been gains of up to 25hp plus

he will also make it so u can have it catless and when u take it in for warranty work or for emissions then u can put the cat on

i've already decided that is the header i'm buying people are out of their mind thinking i'm gonna pay 700+ for a header and downpipe it is simply not worth the extra 300 dollars for a proposed 5 more hp and zzperformance says you can gain anywhere from 15 to 35 w/o a cat.

I have a catless DP with a Magnaflow muffler. Not raspy at all. Has a ripping sound to it.

I've yet to see a dyno from ANY of those products... the only dyno I've seen of the full 3" CTI seutp, header, downpipe, and exhaust, have been minimal at best...

Yeah, catless w/o resonator = ungodly amounts of rasp. with a resonator rasp is minimal.
