Default When my warranty is done..

I would like to do the following things:

Stillen Supercharger Kit
F.I. Long Tube Headers
Meisterschaft Exhaust from there

A few questions though!

Do you think my exhaust selection is too much? I'm just going off of first impressions watching various video clips embedded here plus the overall look. I like loud but I want it to sound good (exotic, not rice).

Would a better choice with the supercharger be Stillen Headers, HFC, and CB?

I have the 7-speed automatic; should I get an oil cooler and trans cooler? If so, what brand? Does the valvebody need upgrading? If so, by who (all I've seen is Stillen)?

Finally, I live in Charlotte NC; where should I take my car to have this work done? Is it typical for shops to only work with certain brands (Stillen, etc) or will they order and install whatever you want? Or do you typically buy the parts yourself?

Will someone estimate the labor costs here (and total cost perhaps)?

I helped my Dad build a kit Cobra and we also restored a 66' Plymouth Fury and 71' MGB-GT; don't know if this makes a difference but maybe you could tell me if these things I've selected are within our abilities as a DIY project? The only new car we've ever worked on were some very minor electronic upgrades on a BMW 850i..

I hate to come off noobish maybe with my questions or part selections but just let me know and we can go from there. I appreciate all responses positive or negative; just need some direction thats all.

I'm trying to save some money going the supercharger route; if I went turbo I don't think I could afford the system/installation and know I couldn't do any supporting mods like exhaust. I'm thinking I can do the supercharger/exhaust route though..

I don't have a lift either; is this job possible with jacks (if its DIY at all)?

Thanks in advance!
