When you go to tighten the exhaust, get everything loosely into position (just a little bit loose, leave about 1/8" of play at each nut/bolt) and torque fasteners starting at the mid-pipe and working your way forward. The nuts at the cylinder heads should be the last ones torqued.

When you're finished installing the mounts and headers, leave it on jack stands with the under panels off and let the car run about 15 minutes, then let it cool off for a bit. Repeat a time or two then recheck all nuts and bolts.

If you're looking for some "while you're in there" parts, consider the sti trans mount and steering bolts/bushings.
