Default shorty headers

Does anyone know where I can find shorty headers for my 72 that require no mods to my current exhaust system

JBA makes exclusively short tube headers. I can't picture them going in w/out some kind of mods though.

Aren't the stock manifolds essentially just short tube headers? My stock manifolds looked like real short headers with the AIR tubes sticking out of em.

I am searching for the same solution also. I spoke with tech support at Sanderson yesterday, and although they have many versions of shorty headers for a SBC, they told me that all would require modifications to the head pipe of the stock exhaust system. Bummer!

Patriot has some newish tight tuck headers that per the dimensions and a few websites are a direct rams horn replacement. Jegs has them with pics.
