Headers may be a problem in an engine bay that tight, but not a problem that couldn't be gotten around. I'd start with an x-pipe(offroad or catted depending on emissions laws in your state) and a tune. It looks like your intake set-up aside from the manifold is already pretty much optimized for the power you want to make. An UDP kit wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I dont think I have the ground clearance for an x pipe. The exhaust is tucked up as much as possible and I still have to be carefull going over speed bumps and such. Its a 2.5in true dual exhaust with high flow cats. Other than going larger in diameter I dont think there is much room for improvement there.
