I haven't heard the cbe/tp combination, but the headers do provide a SIGNIFICANT db increase over just the cbe

Very true.

1) Headers will give you a slight performance increase but its a pain in the butt to do (small/cramped work space).

Also hard to understate. As far as home garage bolt-on jobs go, there's really nothing more frustrating and difficult than a header install on this car. You better really think the pain is worth it. It is to me, but I wouldn't want someone to walk into this thinking it's as easy as changing out the catback

I'm not sure how all the loudness options compare in fine detail, but FI LTH + FI Catback is a *very* loud setup. There's very little restriction or muffling from engine to tailpipe. You will wake up and piss off your neighbors in the early AM :P

Per Tony at F.I. LTH's install is roughly 8 hrs.. I know when I had mine installed, the guy at the shop said this was one of the hardest header installs they had ever done due to the lack of room and the tightness of all the bolts.

Whatever you decide to do make sure you keep your stock parts because what you put into these mod'$, it falls. Into a hobby not a sound investment.
