1.) Does it make sense to do the headers as well?
2.) I don't want this to rust out. Which has best QC & reliability?
3.) lots of DIY's doing this upgrade, on a scale of 1 to 5 where does this one land (5 being most difficult)?
4.) If I DIY, am I on my own for support or do these Mfr's have a support number to trouble shoot issues?
5.) Budget is good, not looking to pay for the name unless it's that reliable.
And lastly, if I'm doing this, should I consider other upgrades that make sense while I have it all jacked up?
I do not track, it's not a daily driver and it has about 8k miles in these 2.5 years that I owned it. Its a little baby to me, so looking to do simple but worthy upgrades without going to crazy if that makes any sense....
Thanks, joe

1) Headers will give you a slight performance increase but its a pain in the butt to do (small/cramped work space).
2) I hear good things about FI products, best to do individual research on this point though as there are alot of different exhausts to get.
3) From my experience, a 2. This depends on what kind of garage you have access to though. Its best if you can throw the car on a lift and use an impact gun.. makes a world of difference.
4) Depends on manufacturer.
This is all from my own personal experience on my Z, take it for what its worth
