LG Street Series Headers
I have a 08 with the factory NPP exhuast option and i plan on getting a set of LG Street series headers with high flow cats. Will it make it louder? I want more power but I also would like it to sound louder as well. And should I be able to feel a differance with just the headers?

You will feel the difference but a tune is suggested after installing them

I run no cats on every header setup I buy.
More power, more sound and cheaper.
You may get increase in exhaust fumes, especially if tuned poorly. Some report their cars being very bad while others, like me, report exhaust fumes being minimal after tuning. It is VERY rare that I ever smell any gas in the car.
If you have strict visual inspections you'll need to have the cats though, period.

Yes most certainly doing a set of headers will gain power and torque, adding the CAI and a tune both on top of that will maximize the gains that you should see.

To keep away from SES lights as well as the most gains from the headers, yes it should be done.
The car is smart enough to figure out the change in flow of the exhaust and can make fueling changes so to be safe, no it does not.
