Lame-specfic ones, or just the VBR header that I'll add myself?

A Lame-specific (or at least Lame-invented) one which can't be added later, as only the encoder can know what to put in the delay fields. Lame's ability to output to a pipe isn't exactly a misfeature (it's got certain very specific uses, such as streaming) but it plain doesn't do the Right Thing for making MP3 files.
