Not sure if it benefits Vtec tbh but it's what everyone recommends!

Removing the cat and having a bigger bore system fitted (if its currently standard non XE bore) will make a massive difference. Even just removing the cat livens up an XE.
I would look into bore sizes a bit more though for sure and make sure you aren't going too big with 2.5". I would reccomend 2.25" with your set-up.

Overbore would loose pressure would it not?
Xe has ported and polished head, cams and verniers. Also had valves etc all bought new so is healthy enough.
