Default Custom headers/Side pipes for BDR

Looking for someone in Tampa area to make custom headers and modify my side pipes. Bolt pattern for winsor headers makes it very restrictive. Looking for conversion plates to change bolt pattern to clevland style header flanges. BDR comes with inch and three quarter tubes want to switch to 2 inch tubes. Also, the side pipe mufflers are not straight through, they go into two tubes. To make a long story short I believe there is a lot of horsepower left on the table. Roush says motor should make around 540 hp at crank mine made 450 rwhp. Would love to see 500 rwhp Has anyone done these mods to their BDR? How many ponies is it worth? What do custom headers cost (mild steel)? Any problems with using conversion plates? I have earmarked 2 grand +- for project including hot coating is that enough. Thoughts anyone?
