1- Will look cool, can keep cat, but when it rains, water will splash up on it and stain marks on the polished finish
2- I'd go with this if you want to keep your cat and they dont salt the roads when it snows in FL (doubt it ever does)
3- I had this header before, no cracks or anything to report- it deletes your cat to give you better power- you gotta do some extra work to fool the ECU into thinking your passing emissions, but its simple. Mates right up to any EX specific catback.
4-6... no comment except for the fact that I wouldnt buy Strup stuff, Kamikaze might be hard to find- I thought they were discontinued.
Link in my sig to DX/LX header exhaust FAQ will give you more info on what it takes to run a race header.

I was thinking of getting the Kamikaze Headers as well.

Andy's always seems to be priced kinda high though TT^TT
