headers no question, you wont benefit as much from H/C unless you have headers done first

Headers then springs. Your pick on headers WILL have an impact on what kinda drop you end up going with. I went with the Pacesetter LT and ORY. Got em from Byunspeed (sponsor here). Great product and Young is great to work with.

Loaded question there. I'd recommend Kooks, but there are hundreds of "header threads" in the External Engine forum. Any which way, if you plan on having the car for a LONG time, get stainless steel. Whether it be Kooks, QTP or Stainless Works, they will not rust, corrode or fall apart. Price tag is high, but worth it IMO. Good luck.

Pacesetters for the price. They cost about 500 with ceramic coating AND the O/R Y.

ORY = Off Road Y. If you run without emissions you use an ORY. Otherwise you get a Y that has the cats. Most people who can't or don't want to delete their emissions go with high-flow cats.

From what I understand if you're planning pwer adders (N2O, turbo) true duals are good, but if just simple bolt-ons a "regular" system is fine.

looks like a texas speed setup you can get one from texas speed and proformance (sponsor here) with X-pipe and choice of mufflers, sweet thunders sound really good,they also have good deals on pacesetter LT's ceramic coated the whole setup will cost less than $850 .
