Default bolt-ons or n2o

Im ready for my next set of performance mods and i dont know if i should go with a header and hi flo cat or just go straight to the nx wet kit i was planning on getting. I have a 96 ex with i/e and im due for an oil change, new plugs, and new brake pads and some minor brake work so i was leaning toward the header and cat which would be less money and i could just put on w/o any worries. I was thinking of either a greddy,dc cc, or kamikazee header with a catco hi flo cat.I was a little worried that it wouldnt sound the way i like it and didnt know if i should get 4-1 since my car has 4-2-1 from the factory. Im also tired of being this slow i wanted to throw in the nitrous kit asap. I would get the kit, purge, gauges, and maybe remote opener all at once so it be considerably more money and i would have to wait longer. All that on top of the maintenace and a compression test,valve adj. and tranny flush to be on the safe side so i dont know...well, im getting the header, cat, and nitrous all eventualy so just let me have some of your opinions on which i should get first.

Well, the high flow cat is nice, but you will probably throw a 02 sensor CEL. With the header, 4-2-1 is nice and your stock manifold should do fine. But if you want to make your engine bay look a little nicer, throw on a stainless steel header and a high flow cat. But like I said you may throw a code.

With the Nitrous, it's really a matter of what you want to do. If your going to get all of those accessories for the nitrous plus the kit. Your looking at a lot of money unless you find a good deal by luck.

I would right now get the Cat and Header, finish of your exhaust before you get nitrous.

How do you like your random tech and did your throw any codes? I hear alot of mixed reviews about randoms cats. what about the sound?

The sound is good actually. No rattling, doesnt sound like a piece. I have a really deep tone thanks to a h22, tanabe, dc sports, aem intake and etc.

But anyways, I thought it was worth the money. I have a 95 so I dont have the 2nd o2 sensor, but i dont have my 1st o2 sensor plugged in so im throwing codes from there.

i think you should get the bolt ons first, by doing that you get more flow from your car which will make it better for nitrous, spraying on a car that is stock is something i wouldnt recommed.
