Looking into heareds for my 77. Not sure if they will drag, or where to look for the right set. Looking for any past history of what went right, and what went wrong. Thanks!

Lots of guys have headers on their cars with good results. I would suggest Hooker long tubes, and true dual 2.5" pipes with a pair of Magna Flow mufflers.

Hey, how did the surgery go? Back on your feet?

Surgery went well, had to also take a part of the vertabra. Sore, Sore, Sore,,,,,,, Not alowed to do much the 1st 3 weeks so I'm looking into a few things I never had time to do. I'm thinking of haveing my son remove the seats and set them on my work bench and see if I could install the leather. Can't ride in a car for 3 weeks. Just about to go nut between pain pills. lol Had some vandals damage the Vette some. (if you body buddy comes up soon, maybe you guys would make a run to Fulton????? I'll buy some beer and have it iced!)

I have Hookers on my '77 and true duals, nothing bangs up at the headers. Hooker makes a header specifically for the C3s. Can get from Jegs.

Go ahead and PM me your phone number and address. I'll call the body guy, Rick. It's going to be a nice weekend, maybe I can have him come to town, and meet up with Curt and I, and we'll drive out to see you.
