well loudest would be a set of long tube headers, catless X pipe and probably SLP loudmouth exhaust. Or you could just put the SLP catback on and maybe put in a set of cut outs. As for suspension if you want it that low you will most likely be looking into a set of eibach pro kits. But when you drop the ride height that much you will NEED caster camber plates and may also have wheel fitment issues/ground clearance issues

Could I get cutouts at my local exhaust shop? It's not a fancy place at all. Oh and I would want electric cutouts so I could switch from cutout to stock.

I dont see why not, you will most likely have to buy the cut outs and just take them to the shop and have them put on

he doesn't have caster/camber plates.....I don't think. And it performs just fine. The treads don't warefast or anything.it's just likea regular setup. If I didn't put them on what would be the down sides of it?

It wont be that loud but people will def. hear you coming. I used to have a lowered 96 without caster camber plates. My car wasn't even that low and there wasn't enough adjustment in the stock plates to get the caster within spec and my tires always wore on the inside much faster than the outside even though it was only a little out of adjustment. If you out the springs on and cant get the alignment within spec just buy the plates. You will end up spending more money on tires than you would have buying the plates and doing it right the first time. I learned that the hard way
