ARH in Long Island, NY is looking for a C2 mule to design headers for a midyear. ARH makes some of the best headers, if not the best. They have have worked out the design for C3's and have plans for a C2. Talk to Steve. Their headers are S/S and are considered top of the line by the C5 and C6 guys. Not cheap but will last forever. Do a search on the C3 forum.
ARH is American Racing Headers.

Check out the posting talking about Stahl Headers (4 or 5 postings after yours).
Jere Stahl invented the 4 tube header and his designs are without a doubt the best in the industry.
Not cheap, but the BEST.

I asked the same question. I was told the C2 vs C3 is close but until they get a C2 they will not offer their headers to the C2 market. There is some good stuff on the C3 forum. Any C2 owner in the NY area needing a set of quality headers should talk to them.

Headman ceramic headers fit my 64 fine .
I assume 65 wouldn't be any different. 3.5 inch to 2.5 inch adaptor pipe required. Or 2 inch .
you will also require an alternator bracket . I didn’t notice a lot of difference from the cast Iron ones only more noise.
