Since you have OBD II emission check, I would wait and have it done and then do the upgrades. Once the headers are on, the tune is done and all the lights go out you still need to drive/start many times before all the emission cycles are complete. It is possible to not have a code but still fail the emissions test.
Also, I would try to spend extra money and get stainless steel headers or plated headers.

I also agree on going stainless, it's worth the extra coin if you live in an area where the weather gets fowl and they salt the streets in the winter.

I agree to a point....you can't swap in a new tune then go straight to inspection, there are many parameters that have to be met before all of the monitors have run. We have people come to our shop all of the time because they failed emissions because their readiness tests are incomplete. We usually hook up a scan tool and drive the vehicle around for them until the tests have run, then we send them back to inspection.

1- need retune?
2- need 02 long wire
3- Where to buy cheap header gasket
After that I could have header on it and drive a year before emission test. Should be allright?
