Default 1979 Exhaust options

Well I dropped my long tube headers today to give them a clean up a(they are about 10 years old and not sure what kind) and they are shot. Several small holes and pretty thin. I was thinking of putting my ram horns back on until I get new headers but I am trying to find a pipe that will connect from the ram horns to my dual exhaust without having to get something fabricated.

Does any one make a drop pipe that goes from the ram horns to dual exhaust?

Thanks

probably not, go to an exhaust shop, they should be able to bend something for you. I would just bite the bullet and get the new headers on and a new exhaust and have it done, so you can drive the car again.

I doubt you're going to find anything bolt on either. If you go to new new headers, I'd consider ceramic coated ones. You'll have less heat, and should have longer life.
