Moike? Ed? Adam? any tech people that could vouch for this?

Coating the headers helps them retain heat. The main difference will be in spoolup. If the header loses too much heat, you'll experience more lag until it heats up again.

Right now your car is not tuned for a high flowing exhaust so you might detonate a bit, with my 04 WRX I had detonation problems (sounds like gravel going through your exhaust) then once I got tuned it went away. The STi has its obvious differences from the WRX though and I am sure the ECU configuration is different.
What you may even want to do is see if an 04 ECU will work with your car( https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-classifieds-96/us-sti-ecu-102748/ ) and if it does, keep your stock ECU and install the other one and have a reflash put down on that.
That way if you ever have to take it in to the dealership its easier to get back to stock.
I would have done it if I could.
