Ok, so have all the 68/69 cars molded in the exhaust cutouts in the rear roll pan? And when you buy headers, are they for side pipes or shorts then adding to them? I have Headman 1 3/4 downtubes and they go straight back.

The rear exhaust panel with cut-outs can be replaced with a smooth one. Ecklers, Vanacor, and others make a replacement. Try Vanacorvette.com for pics. I was not happy with their customer service. Wouldn't return phone calls and promised me a hood and then sold it to another CF member.

Is it a driver or a drager?
If it is just a driver for the street and racing isn't what your doing with it, get the pipes if you want them. A few horsepower one way or the other probably won't make any noticable differences.
