The cat or lack thereof would actually lean out fuel curve a little bit so it would actually help.
But don't be surprised man
. I wasn't at all when you told me those numbers. An exhaust is not going to make you run 200 whp for one hope you weren't dreaming about that if you were I can see your frustration. I think the rx8 in california are on a different flash that probably provide less power due to emission requirements. That could be complete bullshit though but hey it's an excuse.
That header you're planning on getting isn't going to change much either, you need proper tuning, tune the afr's as you please the leaner you go the more hp you would get. Nothing is wrong with your car just accept it.
OR just do what the above poster say and get a turbo in there, only way for now.
