Default Header Help!

As in my sig-- 00 ws6 M6 with corsa cat-back.

What headers/Y-pipe should I go with? I've got a couple ideas from searching (yes, i've searched) the site but here's my issues:
Ease of installation (mechanically inclined, but never done headers before)
Matching up with Corsa system ($$$ not about to ditch the corsa $$$)
Must keep Cat's (wonderful Ohio E-Check )
Sound (Worried if a combo would ruin the sound having the corsa)

So, if there is such a thing, whats a quality header/y-pipe combo that is easy(I know, a relative term) to bolt-on to an existing corsa cat-back and if you know, the best place to buy them?
Thanks for any help!

QTP
http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/

Kooks
http://www.kookscustomheaders.com/

Both top notch quality with a great fit. Pricey though.

Pacesetter is another option. A lot cheaper. I know they were/are having fitment issues with the y pipe. Not sure if that is resolved or not. You can get those from www.texas-speed.com.

May wanna search a little harder next time

coated pacesetters if you dont want to spend a bunch on stainless. they fit halariously well and look great. if you do want to spend a bunch for the stainless, QTP is the way to go

as for y-pipes, TSP's y's (catted and non) mate up to pacesetters great.

Another vote for Kook's. Stainless is the way to go IMO.
