i personally think any header will add to the sound regardless of brand
plus an off-road kit will also add to that as well

as far as header..... there are some nice ones to choose from

all headers will sound the same.

Going without cats (as I recommend) will make it louder than going with cats.

I suggest OBX catless longtubes.

If you're looking for a great tuner in the Houston area let me know and I'll send you a PM.
