You don't have to use the DSE headers necessarily, in fact it would likely be cheaper to just modify the ones you have IF they don't work as is. I would take any first gen parts recommendations with a grain of salt. I know for fact there's a big difference in the frame stands for the engine mounts. The engine is significantly farther back in a second gen vs the first gen. I would mock the engine, trans, and headers up in the sub before you put the sub in the car and see what's going to work. I have ATS tri-y headers on my wife's first gen which everyone told me would not work with the DSE sub but with a slight modification to one tube they do in fact work.
