For the 5G body, an EX/Si header will mate to the factory CX/VX exhaust with no cat. It's a pretty sweet deal, that's what supermac is talking about. I have no idea if this works for a 96+.

no it helps your engine be more free flowing, you won't have huge gains but any gains help imho.

Just save yourself the trouble and get a stock replacement.
