These engines sound fine with just the cat and no muffler, so you can save some $ and a little weight by doing a downpipe + cat with a straight pipe.
Some guys remove the cat, but it doesn't affect performance until you do major upgrades.
Check the vendor forum for options.

BuzzKen in particular has what you want and is in Canada but so do many other
vendors.

After you fix that, read up about checking/cleaning your snowscreen and intake manifold; and checking and replacing your vacuum lines.

Then you can consider a tune, nozzles and more if that doesn't satisfy.

For brakes, most of the trusted vendors offer complete kits with a lot of choices of pads, rotors ,etc.

Thanks. All there is on the car is a cat back ATM.
The intake is very clean, engine itself is very clean. The vacuum lines are new. But are kinda thin and noticed one starting to collapse so I am looking for new vacuum lines, only place that has the 3.5 mm and 5 mm sizes is VW and they are $45 a meter. Bit much.

Thanks for some info. =)

I am getting better fuel mileage with added power =D
