Another exhaust thread, I know. Belanger headers with Corsa cat back?

I have read just about all the posts on this topic and I just want to clarify my understanding for my specific set up. I have Roe HF cats, and Corsa cat backs, stock headers on a 2004 Paxton SRT. The sound is still a little raspy for my taste and I love the sound clips of the Belanger full and cat back systems. But I see that a lot of people stick with the Corsa cat backs for the drone reduction. I don't want a loud exhaust. I'd like to get the Belanger deep growl with little to no drone. My conclusion is that I can get this by just adding Belanger headers to the existing system that I described above. Is this right? Will the Roe cats mate with the headers and will this get me the low mean growl that I want? Or are the headers not worth the money? Any other suggestions are welcome

I have the Balanger headers with Corsa. I have no cats though. If your going to go this route you need a new set of cats to hook from your balanger headers to the corsa. I had Lou Balanger make me a set to do just that. The connection I don't believe will work for with Roe HF Cats. If you do go that route PM me because I will sell you mine as I no longer use them. The headers in a superchaged car will make you some good power im sure! In a N/A car like mine I didn't see much power increase with them at all. My car has no drone and I do love the sound of it. Its louder without any cats than with but I like loud and unrestricted air for the track. If you do balangers with corsa and cats it's not that loud but it one bad a$$ sound for sure! Take the cats out and it may get louder than you want but this stuff is such a personal prefrence.

I am going to try a set of the Aero cat backs from Vipair (no risk) just to see how they sound. I have located a set of Belanger headers as well. If I decide to go with the Belanger headers, how much do you want for the cats? Are they high flow cats?
