I ran that same setup for almost 2 years and was blown away earlier this year by the extra power after replacing the OEM catback with a Borla catback (for a 5th gen T4R). I was also blown away, back in 2021, with just the headers and keeping everything else OEM. I still have the OEM Y-pipe installed and have no plans to replace it as I like being at least half-catted. The headers really un-cork the motor, which results in the OEM catback being the new restriction robbing you of power.
Do you pass emissions with this setup and if so, are you in a tail pipe check area or just an OBD port read?
thx!
