Just going to echo Semtex's opinion here on the shorty headers, even though you're adamant: if you haven't dropped the money yet, you really shouldn't. I also ran them on my car at one point, and I consider it an early mistake. (a) the short headers do virtually nothing for this car, (b) they're a total PITA to install or remove, which means a bunch of sweat and work on your part, or a bunch of install money.

There are probably thousands of better things to spend time and money on for this car than shorty headers. If you're done with other breathing mobs, some random ideas from the thousands of other things: get some nice seats, put in a roll cage, get your hood vented, get a good aftermarket LSD, upgrade the coilovers, buy lighter wheels and/or brake rotors. Lots of those things will stick with the car even after you go FI, too.
