From what I have read, your needed oil viscosity is pretty much determined by your oil temps. For a daily driver, there is no need to change. Maybe if your tracking your car and see elevated temps. If your internally modded, I would change to an oil with higher levels of zinc. Still running a 5w30 but with higher levels of zinc. Check out this link. It's lot of information, but it's good info.

Headers do not constitute a modified engine.

What you are doing are not really mods, what they mean by mods are either boosted engines or internally modified engines. You are fine with what your using.
