Turbo is out if you aren't changing exhaust obviously. I would go with whichever supercharger everyone here tells you to. This is the only option.

If you go the turbocharged route you will only be able to keep your exhaust how it stands from the overpipe and back. You can still get manifold that is unequal length if you go turbo. Your exhaust setup should be pretty low on priority of what FI route you choose. What are you using your car for? What kind of powerband do you want?

You basically made your decision to go supercharged since you want to keep your header.

something thats well worth pointing out is the limitations of the standard automatic transmission

as I know of a couple of guys running a turbo setup on autos and they have to stick to about 300Whp max otherwise the transmission overeats and welds itself together
and this is running an oil cooler and synthetic oil
not looking to rain on your parade but you need to know
