straight though pipe will fail an mot so you'll have to be able to fit a standard box at mot time. smaller bore of the pipe may produce more back pressure but will remove the resnenance. other than that no not really any benefit. stick a car can on instead.

trust me
yes put a motorcycle exh. will increase the power more and i prefer the biger carbon fiber exhausts so if u will buy that exhaust get it from 919 cc or 929 cc or 954 cc or 1000 cc honda motorcycles it looks big but u want performance , i put a 1100 Kawasaki ninja exhaust on my ibiza cupra i am sure it increase it more than 7 hp try it

how does it improve power bud.
it's a smaller bore than a car backbox yes even a blade can is a smaller bore than a standard backbox at 52.3 mm end bore and 45mm internal ish. it makes a difference on a bike engine because the can is used as a restriction to limit the engine. a car does not. and putting a can from what is basically a .9 litre engine on a 2 litre engine aint going to improve much either.
stay with a car exhuast fella as you already have done.

even a race can is a smaller bore bud and it still has to reduce the noise of a bike to below 96dB for racing. a superspint car box is still a bigger bore. and what are you calling headers. i'm assuming you mean the manifold which is changed from a cast to a piped manifold to remove internal friction. the perfect exhaust is a straight pipe with a polished internal. but you cant fit that on a car or bike.
edit: and those were the dimensions a race can. standard can is only 49mm end pipe bore.

you'll get more power from a supersprint backbox but only if you follow it up with a full system. your target is to reduce back pressure (an engine needs a little bit to run right) to do this you put a single manifold onto each cylinder (what your calling headers) which are all the same length this means that each cylinder is pushing the gas out into a clean space and by the time the gas reaches the join the previous cylinders gas has left the system. then as straighter exhaust as possible to allow the gas to be expelled from the system as quickly as possible. if the pipe has to be bent the bend needs to be smooth. 2.25" is 63 mil which is bigger than the bore of a fireblades system. the power gain will be neglegable. you want the power from an exhaust do as above which is what the supersprint system does.
power gain from a bike can. not very much i'm afraid bud especially as the ibiza has a cat in the system which will maintain backpressure behind it.
and on a cost side a race can for a bike with a bore of 63mm youll be looking at a blueflame or a yoshi which will set you back 300-400 quid for a new one. how much is a supersprint full system?
sorry fella just my opinion. you do as you see fit.
(are you american by any chance?)
