What mod should I do next?

I am still fairly new to this, so please bear with me. I have an 84 z-28, 5-speed, with the mighty LG-4 engine. In an effort to add hp. I have added the dual snorkel air intake, K@N Air Filter, 3" intermediate pipe and banks exhaust. I am guessing that headers would be next. I like the sound of my exhaust, but I'm wondering what effect adding them would have on the exhaust note.
