and the other stuff are some cosmetic enhancements and I MAY look at doing headers... just need to review more dyno results.
TCP and FVD now have headers for our cars, but I have my local shop tell me that headers will give you loss in TQ down low ;(

I've heard that with the side mufler delete, even with cats in it is too much for the final center exhaust and it gets too hot. You better check with the experts.
Probably not loud enough for you Fred, but the numbers look good:

Autometrics has the best solution for me. Hopefully, they will make a kit for everyone soon. It is similar to a cup exhaust, but with a few simple mods. It took out right at 40 pounds from the rear, which was really important to me. The sound increased about 4 db overall, so I can still pass at Roebling...big plus. We dynoed before and after and rubbed our eyes when we saw the results. It gained over 11HP and over 9 FP's of torque! To be honest, I would have been happy with no gain and the weight loss as long as it didn't lose any power. But, this is pretty incredible. The have another RS they are modifying right now. Not sure what the cost will be, but you can Google them and contact them if you want one. I'm sure if enough guys order, it will be less costly than alternatives. They are friends but I have no business affiliation whatsoever. But, it does stand to reason that they know what works best as they work with cup cars daily. I drove the car back from Charleston to Savannah, listening for any "droning" or anything weird. It was great. It groans louder at lower rpms and screams a louder higher pitch at higher rpms. The only drawback I can see is that I'm going to get a ticket from going faster in order to hear the exhaust notes! It really is cool and the best overall solution I've seen so far.

I always add music as that is MY preferred choice. I also prefer some vids with music. I have plenty of other vids without so go back and forth. but my taste is with a little music. My exhaust is loud enough that you can still here it over the music thankfully.
each to their own you know
