Default Shortie Headers

I need to replace the exhaust on my 76 and am thinking about using shortie headers and attaching them to the stock front Y pipe. I still need to pass inspection for converter so going to duals is not an option. My inspection stations said this would be ok as long as I pass through a converter.

Anyone have this? Any suggestions on which shorties will fit without major problems.

Thanks
Ray

Ray B,
Did they tell you about the need to have the AIR pump feed into the headers?

I don't know about shorty headers but there are some smog legal long headers out there. Like you said as long as they pass through the converter there should not be a problem. Long or short would work with the converter.

If you havnt already you should go with the a high flow catalytic converter as well. more flow more power plus cooler operation.
