Blown is Best
Those do look good. 
Wipe them down with brake cleaner to get all the residue off before you fire them up othewise that residue will be there forever. I've also heard that if you shut it down and let them cool when they get to the bronze color you want, they have a better chance of staying that way instead of turning black. I never had a chance to try it for myself.

The headers will be a nice power add-on.
When you hear the wooshing sound, don't worry, its the exhaust flowing through the headers because they aren't as restrictive as the OEM.

I believe the DC isn't a direct bolt-on, a pipe has to be bent in order to make it fit. not so with the XS. XS is about half the price of the DC. Reliability isn't completely decided on the XS since they're still new to most of us but I've not heard of anyone having a problem yet. I've had mine on for about 6 months with no problems yet.

I just ordered my comptech headers and can't wait to get them installed. Haven't decided if i'm going to do them myself or not. Aside from getting new gaskets, should I get new bolts when I install the comptech headers too?

I would assume that the comptech units come with proper bolts?

"The exhaust manifold to engine hardware (self-locking nuts) will be reused"
Looks like I should be fine. The only thing I may need to get are the engine to header gaskets as the headers don't come with that.
