If you have EGR, blocking the exhaust port may throw a code. My 91 hatch does not have EGR. Blocking the exhaust port, with my header, is a non issue.
Header benefits, on a G10, is debatable. The stock exhaust manifold is pretty much a header design to begin with. Nice aftermarket converters are available from Summit, Jeggs, etc.
