Cuz I know she needs to be lowered, and the rims have got to go, but, its in progress...

also, how do you lower it without springs?
Hi flows will probably require a tune... and a tune will drop your power train warranty. Again, that is why I would recommend going wheels and drop first. Give it a few months, your car still runs ok... then do the tune and headers.

Also, be forewarned, you will see VERY LITTLE performance gain from shorties..this applies to both the V6 and V8... you will see some gain and sound/volume improvement in high flows though. The shorties (if coated) are a plus at auto shows..

I imagine you may get some resistance from the service dept about the suspension warranty, but trust me.. I went through the hassle of a power train failure (in my last vehicle) and the suspension packages will not cost you what a power train failure would.

The only other option outside of drop springs would be coil overs, but those can be expensive as hell.

It all comes down to how much you have to spend. Wheels and a drop can run you 3-4k, but worth it and you will keep your warranty. Also remember these suspension packages will come with warranties from the vendor.

In the next week or so I'm going for the CNC throttle Body, RX catch can & SLP Balancer.

So I would start there, These won't mess with your Warrenty.
