You can also resort to calling them, I usually tend to call them when I'm gonna make a purchase. Much more easier and more informative that spending time on the site. Only thing I use the site for is to place the order but then I always call them still to make sure if I need any other changes done to my order or add some special requests.

Also now that I am gonna have my header, currently i'm using 87 octane cuz thats normal but now I'm told that i should start using premium which in my state is 93 octane and later when I get the tune i will for sure need to use 93 octane gas. My only problem is, what about during and after the install. Should I drain out my last gas of 87 before I install the header or just install the header, use up the last gas I have on my tank and then the next time I fill up use 93o??

I'd install the header & get your exhaust figured out, while using the regular fuel, then when a 1/4 tank or less, I fill it w/ premiun & Flash it, & then enjoy the punch & smoothness of the motor.

By "flash it" you mean tune it? Or what exactly do you mean? (Car terminology newb)

Header then data log. There's no point to a tune if its not custom (requires a datalog)

I have never datalogged mine and it runs like a champ. They have done so many of our gens that they know where to set the tune at. I highly suggest you install the tune first otherwise your car will have a CEL code for the second cat having a fault because it is no longer used when you go header.
Your tune can be fine tuned after you have both the header and tune installed but as I stated mine has never been datalogged and Randy at FSwerks has adjusted my tunes several times for other things such as increasing the transmission pressure(=
