Muffler, get a performance one. They are straight through mufflers, and just take some drone out. Otherwise, they don't change the sound level much.

Heater core? Ugh, its a day job. The dash has to come out, A/C drained, then the HVAC system can come out.

I run the 4" straight through muffler that came with the diamond eye system I bought. I like it it's slightly quieter than straight piped. Like stated above heater core isn't the most fun job but not terrible. Haynes manual has a good write up for it.
