L88, you're going to have to find a shorty header. most long tube pipes are going to exit behind the opening for the sidepipes. trust me ,i know for a fact. early 80's had a shorty factory header. not as effecient as the long tube,but less restrictive than the ram horns.
you'll have to block off the emission plumbing but they will work.check with Gary(copdogcorvette) i think he still has a set of the factory headers.

The factory short header do work better than the ram horms and look better too. I have seen headers designed to hook up to side exhuast, but it's been a very long time. The shorty headers are all you will most likely be able to find unless you get someone to build a set.
Gary
P.S. Yes, I do still have a set of the factory short headers.

I've been out of tonw for a few days helping my folks get some work done to their house. They are in their 80's and thinking of selling the old home; It is just to much work for them.
The new vette is going along; I just got the brakes bleed out so they work good now. It had just been sitting too long. Replaced the exhuast donut; bad leak. I'll get a picture or two ready soon. It has a complete new exhuast system on it, but it is Y pipes and cat. Hope to get side pipes soon. Looking for an 80 style rear bumper first.

Gary, glad to hear that you're doing ok. i worry when my regular CAC buddies aren't around. i guess i am getting addicted to this site.
BTW have you considered the 80's style with the taller spoiler? if i had some loose change laying around i think that would be an addyion on my vette. plus a front spoiler.
Robin....the older i get, the faster i was

I've look at them, but just don't know. I've never actual seen one, just once in a catalog. I just don't like that rounded back end on the 78 and 79s.

I have a set of Heddman headers that match up perfectly to the factory sidepipes on my 63. It seems like I've seen them listed in the Summit catalog.
