I'm thinking of headers. Couple of questions:

1- Should I replace the Cats with high flows before the headers? I really can't do both at the same time.

2- I'm on a budget. Is it worth it to look at shorty headers? If I decide to keep my existing Cats, will they bolt up to the down pipes?

1. Save your money and do both Long Tubes and Hi-flo cats at the same time.

2. You can use Shorties with your existing cats, but you won't see much of a gain as they're not much better than stock.
