Your glass packs won't last long anyway. If you are running stock heads don't go over .480" lift

i cant answer any mod questions except for the pipes like vile said they will burn out you should have a cross over pipe of some sort x or h, and you should also have high flow cats to help with back pressure. where did you come out with your pipes? if you went over the axle then nm on the cats they should be fine but if you came out before the wheels then yes need cats or some sort of back pressure

Your adding your mufflers behind the glasspacks?  When you put your headers on, put on some sort of balance pipe, either a "h" pipe or an "x" pipe, and then run your exhaust pipe to your mufflers, do away with your glasspacks all together.
