I'd definitely go with an offroad pipe before headers, car will be a lot louder.

Get headers after you open up the intake side more with heads, intake and a cam. Based on what combo you go with you will know what type of header to buy. The X pipe would be a good choice for now.

Get a cat-back first for better sound, then off road and headers
