Yes.
If you don't then the bottle neck will be the flex pipe. The race header will probablly have a 2.25 or 2.5 inch exit going into the smaller stock flex then going back out to your aftermarket 2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust.

And where else to put a high flow cat.

but if u stick with stock header, then no point in changing flex right? Just do catback?

stock header= not needed, may help a tiny bit, free flowing can never be a bad thing
aftermarket header= must be done!!!

any way you look ay it the flex pipe is a restriction.
in the stock system it is not the biggest, but it still is a restriction.
with a race header, it will become a BIG restriction in the system.
also, not all race headers have a 2.25" exit, and there are only 2 with 2.5"(Kamikaze and JBA longtube), so choosing the right flex is important along with the in the grande scheme of things.
if you have a 2.25" exhaust a Kamikaze or JBA header would be a bit redundant as you want to try and keep the pipe sizing uniform thought the exhaust to minimize flow irregularities in the system.
on a side not, unlss you are planning to run a SC kit, there is no need for a complete 2.5" exhaust.
