Remember that headers get white hot when running the car hard so it is a really good idea to get your car up on a lift and make sure that nothing remotely flammable (hoses, plastic panels etc.) gets closer than 1" or so to those bad boys. Having your shiny sports car burn to the ground sucks. Many have learned this the hard way.
