well trying to decode your writting is difficult From what i understand your looking for headers. Might i suggest Long Tubes with an O/R midpipe. These will really wake up those boring packs.

+1, and if you not really good with a wrench, I would suggest getting them installed somewhere.

If you get Long Tube headers you are basically going to have full exhaust, since you need to buy the shorty midpipe for it. And since you already have magnaflow catback, that's full exhaust all together. I would say that the price for getting headers + shorty midpipe + getting it installed should be around $1100.

$500 for ceramic LT headers, $200 for shorty midpipe, and around $400 for install.

id say to get the LT headers but im not sure if there 50 state legal, not that id give a damn but it might be something ud like to look into... shorty headers are just as good but dont get BBK headers because they suck... the polished alluminum becomes discolored as SOON as you start your car

Make sure to look at a matching mid pipe as well. it is much easier to install if the headers and the midpipe are of the same brand.

Save some money and use exhaust wrap. AND...before any says it, no it will not rott your headers or make them brittle (as long as they're made out of high grade steel).

Well first of all Shorty headers are not just as good... Second saying BBK sucks is ur preference. i think they sound good. but thats just me. they may suck cause u bought the cheap polished Shytt and not the ceramic??
