Default Would appreciate some help with headers

I'm currently trying to upgrade my stock headers to performance after-market while keeping the car street-legal and was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on a good pick. It would be greatly appreciated.

street legal, depends on what state you're in, do you need all the smog stuff if so, you need headers w./ air tubes. Hedman has a header w/ air tubes, others like dynomax most likely also. Hedman quality isn't that great IMO.

I'm an idiot. It's a 1979 L-82. I upgraded to heads and intake manifold to with Edelbrock's Performer RPM series. Also an Edelbrock Per. RPM Quadrajet carb. and a comp cams 270H series cam. I would like a good set of shorty headers that could hook right up to my front Y-pipe. Thanks for the quick replies already
