Neither of those would be a good way to spend your money. You'd spend ~$500, and get maybe a handful of HP. Bad $/HP ratio there.
Welcome to the forum. Now go get headers and full exhaust, and subframe connectors. Then come back

fastest header fix would be either hooker or hedman shorty made for the camaro with y pipe include. That is if you have factory correct exhaust. If you still have your factory cat on i would also check out a high flow cat to free up some ponnies.

Hanger bracket? Do you mean rod hanger? If so, that's part of the secondary system on the carb.
