probably ups but you can always call them and confirm that. As far as sound and power difference with header and downpipe with stock exhaust. Yes you'll notice power difference just not as much if you added a catback. Sound levels will be slighty louder but will still sound preatty stock. I have a 4-1 midlength header and 2.5 downpipe connected to my stock exhaust for awhile before i went with a custom 2.5 inch exhaust. I liked the sound because it still sounded stock. Only reason I decided to go with a custom exhaust later was because I also was getting my car trifecta tuned so i wanted every once of hp i could get out of it.

Hmm I know lots of cars that are NA that don't have cats and don't sound like shitty rice burning hondas.

Maybe YOU are doing it wrong?

I think you're missing the point here. The OP isn't a built car like yours. Your typical DD NA Cobalt without a cat sounds extremely raspy.
