Which Headers??

I just purchased a 1987 Camaro Iroc-Z28 that came stock with a 305. The previous owner just replaced the engine at a Chevrolet Dealership with a 5.7l 350 crate engine which they also did a high performance 3inch exhaust setup and a Holley Throttle body.. I am looking to get some good mods in to boost the power of the vehicle. I have heard about doing Headers, High flow Cats, and cams but honestly I am new to all of this and have no idea on what parts fit and what dont. So I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction on a brand and model of headers that will fit my application.. below are some pics of the engine bay as is...

For commercially available headers, Hooker 2055HKR fit the bill exactly for your car. Dyno Don is an excellent choice as well.

A direct-fit replacement cat such as the Catco 9118 will fit the headers. Cat-back is pretty much your choice as long as it's for your application.
