Default So, I got a header

The header is for a HO and I have a renix. Can I get away with just cutting the intake ports bigger on the gasket or should I get the appropriate part?

The actual ports/gaskets look identical, I think you will have to modify the exhaust pipe to meet the HO flare.
I haven't tried it but my opinion just from looking at gaskets and seems like I read that someplace on here or elsewhere.

Is header wrap something I should consider? I've heard that it can accelerate corrosion but I got the APN 321 stainless one so thats not an issue. Also If I DID get some would it do any good to wrap the cat?
