dont take off ur cat
1. its bad for the earth
2. it makes it loud as ****, not a good loud eather
3. its illegal

And zoom i didnt say anything mean I was making joke bud, and the headers, intake, exhaust combo will gain you about 10 hp..... thats 100$/HP its not really worth it to me...... If you want to mode your car its basicly boost or swap for real gains.

But im guessing you just want a little bit more performance in your auto street car?

Id say start with an intake, you'll like the little sound you get out of it. Ebay intake pipe with an AEM or K&N filter does the job.

As for exhaust, I like the Apexi WS2 for its low sound qualities.

They are right, a cat will not net you much extra HP on a stock car.

What are you goals for the car? and much money do you have to spend?
