I don't see it gaining much more power without headers. It just can't breath.

Exhaust system most important at this point. When he's ready, just let him know not to worry about going too big. The bigger or better flowing the better off you will be with a blower. Scavenging talk should be reserved to the N/A section if you know what I mean.

Lets see some pics or vids of this thing getting down.

You mentioned he has a pipe just after the 3rd cat out before the tire, he will probably want to look at getting something to quiet the beast down when headers are installed, those 3 cats muffle the sound pretty good and you will be removing those.

I wouldn't look at anything less than TSP and if he needs cats where he lives, you get limited to ARH, Kooks and Stainless Works unless buy the Y and put cats in the TSP's or have one fab'd.
