Default confused on the 370z exhaust system

ok, i have a couple questions about the exhaust system on the 370z. on my sentra se-r spec v, you have the header, then midpipe, and then the catback. how does it go on the 370z? lets say you purchase a catback exhaust system with high flow cats, then your still left with the stock midpipe and headers correct? or is it called the y-pipe instead of midpipe on the 370z? lets say you purchase some headers along with the catback exhaust and high flow cats, then your still left with the stock y-pipe correct? im so confused lol.

headers are headers

HFC's are HFC's

catback's are catbacks (from HFC to the tips, includes a y-pipe, h-pipe, x pipe....which ever you want)

ok, then what comes right after the high flow cats? lets say i purchase a catback exhaust system with high flow cats. the only thing left to get would be headers correct? after the headers i would have a full exhaust system right?

i know that on some cars installing headers makes it louder and raspier. is this true for the 370z? will it be raspy with stillen headers, a fast intentions catback exhaust with fast intentions hfc? will the fast intentions hfc bolt right up to the stillen headers with out any problems?

after installing headers on your car did it make it noticable raspier or louder?

dont waste the money, stock headers are fine on the 370, with out a tune wich is expensive, you will loose low-end torque = fail. Highflow cats on the reserved side, Testpipes for enthusiasts, quality exhaust = pass. IMO...first thing i would do is swap the clucth as well as flywheel.
