Just ordered some comptech headers..need more ideas

Hey guys, I'm new to the site. A couple quick question for you pros:

1) so for on my 05' auto TSX, I've put a CT cat back exhaust on, AEM short ram, and soon my CT headers. What other easy fixes can I do to unleash some more torque/hp?

2) Should I think about getting a high flow cat? Is it worth it for the $$ and will I notice a significant change?

3) I want to get my ECU reprogrammed. As soon as I put my headers on, I'm gonna disconnect the negative end of my battery to reset it but I'm wondering if it would be a good move to send the chip out and have it remapped or whatever its called.

Thanks guys!

reflash, pulleys, lightweight 17" rims/tires, and cat. TB Spacer and gaskets if you want too.

Rear Sway for handling.

Easy DIYs that may or may not yield HP, but you can do it easy:

TB Bypass
Oil Catch Can
Dremel out drivers side fog light cover for direct cold air to air filter

Get the RT cat. That thing makes an immense difference on our 05's once u have header. It is well worth it. Also get the pulleys, I suggest Unorthodox Racing. The torque difference is very helpful to AT's.

Yes! light-weight pulleys willhelp improve torque. Reflash is a must have, along with hi-flo cat. Have fun!!

does RT high flow work cat work with stock exhaust?

Does it introduce additional exhaust noise?

Will it trigger the engine/check light?

Thx!

Yes, RT cat works with stock exhaust. It makes exhaust raspier if u have aftermarket cat-back. Yes it will trigger CEL, unless u get a defouler from Vibrant's web site.
