Make a plan first and dont push yourself with a time limit
My car has been parked for the last 4 months while i was collecting
the parts,now everything is here,so start with a plan and a budget.
Most important thing is ...get the money first,no money,no honey
Save,then think what to do. this things cost lots of money.

For now Longtube headers would be a nice addition to your car !
You can buy the black hedman longtubes,those are good and inexpensive !

Alright i was thinking about the headers a few months ago. I'd probably do everything to it over winter once i put it away.
