OK just got my K&N Typhoon installed and definately improved throttle response and butt dyno hp increase. Got an awesome deal om it and happy with it.

So now I want to add my next mod. Basically I want as much bang for the buck around $500. Not ready for a tune. Choices? Ported TB, axel back exhaust, high flow cats, other.

If I get the cats will they work when I get LT headers or do I need to get header specific cats?

You can not get high flow cats that will work with the stock manifolds and also still work when you get LT headers. My advice would be to hold off on the cats until you get headers. Check out a ported throttle body and scoop/washer tank package to finish of the intake upgrades.

Don't waste money on Hiflo cats.

Scoop or TB? Which will I notice more. The throttle response on the L99 is terrible and now much better. I'm thinking TB next for noticeable performance gain. Right?

BMR Sway bars made huge difference in the handling of my SS. Highly recommended for under 4 bills. Maybe even some trailing arms and toe links will eliminate wheel hop

For the budget you mentioned you can do both. If you could only do one you will probably feel the scoop more.
