you'll lose power across your RPM range by removing the cats.
Headers won't do anything until you 1) do some porting & change the cams or use a power adder.

Probably 5-7 hp more than you have.

Add a fulllength intake that draws air from the high pressure area in front of the front wheels, and the dual exhaust will get you 15 or so.

Underdrivers will get you more power than the chip.

sure on pulleys alone. Pulleys are one of the few that keep on giving. the more power you make the pulleys free the same percentage, no matter what.

removing the cats will lose you power across most of the RPM, & Headers don't do anything.

The factory has done a pretty good job with the engine, as designed - for the cam and intake, it leaves maybe 20 hp or so in the table. The exhaust until the y-pipe is very efficient, the accessories, flywheel, and other GT spec items are not.

The real killer is the amount of air you can get into the engine -it's built for torque more than hp.

To make real power, you've gotta open up the intakes, and free up trapped hp.

The coil can support more than 300 hp, the exhaust is good up to about 250 or so, the wires don't come into play until you can open up the RPMS.

you'll pick up some throttle response for increased tq, but you'd get more from an intake manifold spacer to increase plenum volume for 75-100 dollars.
