Exhaust Set Up - - - Need help/pointers

Hey all, its just about that time for me to get my full exhaust done, and i think i've found the parts i want to do. Starting at the block, i want to run the vibrant header/dp combo(i think from modern-performance it comes with high flow cat, will that be too much?). From the cat back i was considering the magnaflow, or the borla. Both are about the same price, i just need to figure out which sound i like more.

So thats it for the parts, now i need some "been there done that" input, i'm not too horrible when it comes to mechanical things, most things i can figure out either by lining up bolts and holes or just some plain old shop drawings. From everyone's experience, how hard is it to install the headers/dp and cat back without a lift? (i have access to a shop jack, just not a full lift)

Also i've been considering the electric run cut out from modern performance. I know all about back pressure with the supercharger, this add on would be entirely for my own pleasure, and to scare the old ladies on the corner as i drive by. lol. it wouldnt be for performance at all.

I'm currently running a stg II from gm, with a cai. I'll be dropping down to a 2.8 pulley over the summer as well.

I appreciate all the input!

anyone?

i have the full vibrant header back exhaust and let me tell you there is no way youll be able to do it without a lift also exspect to spend about 5-6 hours on it go to the shop and let them do it, Magnaflow is way better than borla and its a wider pipe

I have the random tech downpipe and catback exhaust and I love it. It's pretty loud but you get use to it after awhile, it has 2 and 3/4 inch pipe and the tone of it is awesome. Personally that's what I would recommend.
