Default Will i need bigger exhaust?

I'm building a 408 stroker and i was wondering if i needed to get a new set of headers and piping to support the bigger ci motor? I currently have MAC headers to a hooker catback will this setup suffice?

How much power will you be making after the build? What do you estimate? And what size is your current system?

I would look into true duals, thats the way to go.

Definitely swap the MAC headers to something else running those kind of CI's. I'd go with at least a 1 3/4 longtube header setup.

True duals will sound nice, and make more area under the curve (TQ) but not required. A good Kooks, QTP, AR, or any other 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 longtube/Ypipe setup will be fine. Just depends on how much you want to spend, and how loud you want the car to be.
