Where can I find high flow cats for my 97 OBW? Also looking for mid pipes and performance headers. Going to go with a Borla Catback Exhaust for it.

My Car page with more links. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2184403
I have links on the second page for the mods and stuff. Also need to know what the best plugs and wires are for mine. Trying to get as much HP and low-end torque out of it as I can without installing a turbo. My OBW is basically going to be a boat hauler/offroader/everyday driver. Thanks for yalls help.

Some of the guys here swear buy the Wix.
I've used OEM and Purolator in all my cars with no problems. (ran them on a DD and raced baja turbo)
I've heard from local turbo guys to stay away from Fram, and have heard nothing about K&N.

I may switch back to wix oil filters and fuel filters. Just an update on the HF cat, mid pipe, and headers, I found a site that carries them. I talked to the guy who works there and he does have them for the 97 OBW 2.5L. Its www.turbometrics.com/store/ (http://www.turbometrics.com/store/). He also has the Borla catback so I will probably get all of them from him as well as the 3 piece lightweight pully set and the oil cap and throttle body spacer. Wonder if I can find a higher performance intake manifold as well as a higher performance throttle body. Anyone have any leads on those parts?

Napa, federated auto or AC delco fuel filters all work well. OEM is fine too.
Plugs and wires, I go with OEM.
O2 sensors, I would buy replacement OEM like Denso or Bosch, just as long as it's plug and play. Last time I bought splice-your-own O2's and they were a pain.
