Default Headers?

OK I got the dual exhaust that were made for my stock manifolds .....but now that I'm there i think I may have made a mistake cause I'm thinking headers...What would be good headers (best fit without headaches) for my 79' L82.....Then I'll have to adapt my pipes to fit......It never ends
I think I need long style and not shorties so adapting them to the pipes is easier is this correct? I'm a noob at alot of motor stuff...

I've got Heddman Elite hedders on mine and love them. They were an easy install

You could pull off the front ipes and save those plus your stock manifolds. Have a good muffler shop (check Meineke) fab up a set of front pipes to your new headers.

I just put shorty headers on to the stock position of the stock pipes, well...a muff shop did it...they built a bigger crossover for me, but since you have the true duals, they should mate up to the shorty headers just fine....just my 2 cents
