Default Cats and headers? Help me decide

Cant find any posts yet that answer my question.

is there a post for diy header and cat install?

if not I will do one if someone will agree that a kooks headers with kooks cats will gain me some sound and a bit more power. Thoughts?

Default 2m Fabrications

You could always try 2m fabrications and do a review/ install video. They have to be equal/better than kooks headers that show almost no improvement in power. Kooks has 2.5" 2M has 2-7/8" collectors Also save about 2/3 on cost of other brands.
I will be buying the 2m but my car wont be arriving until second part of 2021.
