Yep, if you do intend on “keeping it forever” like you stated in your OP, I’d keep the stock internals.
If you need more pep, the DT headers look good.
If you wanted more “audible” rumble, I can, in good faith, recommend just cutting a few holds after the cats prior to entering the muffler.
My old exhaust was basically completely disconnected at that union before the muffler, and on startup and taking off from a stop, the v8 grumble was fierce. BUT on the highway, it was just as quiet as stock.
Still cursing the government to this day.. needed to fix the leak for emissions testing, but a year later, they’re scraping the program up here.

Or do what I do, drive a slower 4R to make you really appreciate the v8 (mine’s only the lowly 2003 v8 too without vvti)
