Tire pressure depends on your tires, and many other variables like temp, humidity etc. 32 is a nice average for normal street radials. Nitto DR's like 24.

As for headers, stay away from the true shorties, but the Mac mid-lengthss perform very well for the $$$. Long tubes cost more, but arguably have a little more potential. If Mac made a Y with decent cars, I would have bought them instead of FLP's.
