Lids are like mufflers, they all work good just depends on your style really. Headers depends on what you planing on putting on later. A set of Jet hot headers w/o air and EGR worked pretty good for me personally. And if your going to tune it afterwards just remove the rear O2s will the tuner is in there. Depending on how low your car is I would go with a true dual set up. Most of the setups tuck up pretty nice and sound mean

I love my cut-out and I plan to put on some qtp LT eith matching ORY then into my cutout. I had a friend (moved away) with a SS with that setup and it sounded incredible. Even a cutout on a bone stock car sounds more throaty than most other full exhaust setups. I prefer the SLP lid because the plastic matches perfectly with the plastic already on the stcok airbox...but don't get SLP headers cause its scrape city.

+1 on not getting the SLP lp's, unless you like bottoming out on ur headers..everyone that i've talked to specifically told me no SLP headers....good luck with the modding, looks like you have the start to a very nice F-body there!
