worth it

so i got a 2002 z28 and my question is theres a local shop that does custom exhausts for dirt cheap the problem is i have the stock headers. my question is should i do the exhaust first bescause i still have the stock single pipe exhaust with a muffler delete(bought it that way) or should i wait till i get headers. just so you know the price my neighbor has a 5.0 fox body mustang that was just headers for awhile found the shop and they fabricated an H-Pipe and half dump dual exhaust and custom hangers for 150.00. Any input would be great. thanks alot

They'll just cut the pipes and weld in some new stuff.

IMO, wait til you get the headers and do it right the first time. That $150 gets you headers that much sooner.
