I just think the headers are good to do while the turbo is off anyway, and I'm just a fan in general. Plus it seems like a nice place to mount an EGT probe.

For the exhaust, I guess you went the custom route? How does that work, will any muffler shop just run pipes from the headers back? I would definitely add a muffler back in, and maybe a resonator. I don't want TOO much noise and definitely no drone.
