Default Mid length headers ??

I found these on ebay for $95 "buy it now" - Does anybody have this style headers installed on a C3 ? It seems to be kind of a medium lenght ??? Would these fit my edelbrock aluminum heads ?

These may work, but I wouldn't bet on it. They appear to sweep straight back toward the firewall/floorboard. Corvette headers usually drop straight down from the center of the engine.JMHO

I would like to have a set of mid length headers for my car. It seemns all that is available is either the block hugger or full length that are not lowered car friendly. I may make a set from a full length set one of these days. jim

Doesn't look like they would work with a manual trans. No room to fit in the clutch mechanism?

These are very interessting because of the 3" collector that could be connected to 4" sidepipes.... that was my thought ...

I currently have shorties with a 2.5" collector and thought with a 3" collector I'd get a lot better flow.

Long tubes are too far towards the rear to connect to sidepipes, I do not like the idea of a 180 degree bend and then out to the fender... this would heat the floor panel too much - it's already very hot and toasty at the feet ...

I guess I'll take some measurements to see where the collector would be located, do I need oval or "d" style headers for edelbrock heads ??

Thanks
