I would recommend ceramic coating for the headers. I had mine done by Jet-Hot coating and impressed w/ Randy's service.
Also,get a set of header gaskets.I gotminefrom Jerry's gasket.
As for the header bolts, I used Stage 8 from Summit - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/STG-8908/

Did not use locking tabs (not enough room nor patience) but worked fine. If pre 93 each side has 16 bolt holes. If 93 or later, 14 bolt holes each side. A couple of holes are tough to get the bolts started due to curvature of runners. It helps if bolts are cut to 3/4" or so. I got all 14 on one side and 13 on the other side mine is a 94.
Getting factory exhaust ceramic coated will cost you a few bucks -at least $300 or more - just my guess. Consider OBX SS exhaust - http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Catback-...cba2ee&vxp=mtr

Looks like the price went up to $549. When I got mine it was $350. I strongly recommend using Torca band clamps since the band clamps that come w/ the exhaust are junks. However, the exhaust itself is a very good piece and I have no regrets.
