    as far as your cat goes, the stock should be sufficient.
    apart from that i'm running a 2.5" redback system from the cat back, with a hotdog and muffler in line.

    as for extractors, most folks on the forums go for Pacies or HM, depends on what you want out of them (tuned or whatever)

    HM headers are cheaper, but use a more mild steel, in effect, they wont last as long, and probably dont flow quite as well (miniscule difference here mind you).

    I'd just go the HM's really, unless you can get the Pacies for the same dosh.

    Tool? There's no need for that.

    Do your research my friend.

    HM Headers arent cheap anyway.... I suggest you do YOUR research...

    HM Headers: RRP $535.41 (inc GST)... And you shouldnt be paying more than $500 for pacemakers supply only.

    IhateRICE... Whats your budget?

    I can only speak from my own experience, but I've always found HM headers to be cheaper than Pacies. I've had them fitted to both Holdens and Fords, but obviously it would differ from supplier to supplier.

    i just installed HM headers the other day after my genie's cracked (welded em, but cracked again after 2 weeks), and the HM's (450 from ebay) along with a redback cat back zorst with both the resy and the muffler, go really well, see pacemakers are made to really benifit the 3500rpm and up range whereas HM are more down low,
    also HM are 409 stainless steel, and come with a 10 year warrenty, it aint getting any further form being milder than that
