I need some guidence on what company is the best performance for more horsepower for a carbs ( i think i should get Webber right? but which model?), exaust( a very load one), and headers. thanks alot

for carbs, either get rid of them or buy a weber(or if your going sidedrafts you can choose from mikuni and dellorto as well). For ease get a 32/36 or 38/38 downdraft weber, for more performance, altho not much good if you didnt build up your engine, twin sidedrafts, linkage and manifolds are available from most 02 specialists, weber specialists, such as pierce, ireland, korman,TEP(ive heard junk). also, for an in between you could get a lynx manifold and a single weber DCOE 45. For exhaust system, once again unless you havent done anything to your engine not much help, just go with like tii spec stock, or maybe a supersprint, ansa, stahl or ireland header if you want to. you wont get much more power even with all of this, so if you wanna go fast your going to have to strip down your engine, and your wallet for head work, cam, tii or better pistons, tii dizzy or electronic igntion, maybe go with EFI, something like irelands muffler kit and get the other pipes custom bent. or even more radical with like a turbo... and after any of this youll need to match your suspension if you want to have any fun.

go with an ansa exhaust and weber 40 DCOE just because i think you really don't need 45's except if your going to race but for street stick with 40's. i just started mine up last week with new 40's and i've had an ansa on there and it sounds so awesome even some of the rednecks down here in georgia who think only v-8's are the best enjoy hearing it. but i'm not sure on headers i have been looking around at some for the future.
