Have ZZ4 Need Headers, Which ones??
What are you ZZ4 owners using for headers? Would like to get ceramic coated. Wasn't sure about D port exh. matching up. Going to run full exhaust. I've got 4spd and p.s. and thats it! Pics would be great, but any feed back would help alot. Thanks.

Check out my restoration thread for my 1982 Corvette for photos of the ZZ4 with Jet-Hot/Hooker headers and sidepipes:

Ordinary 1 5/8 Hedman full length will work fine (Part # 62860 ?), though if I were to upgrade, I would into the Dynomax coated headers, such as those at Jeg's. I believe both offer them with d-shape ports, which would probably be better. If you're on a budget, C-4 tubular manifolds work ok as well. I'm currently running the Hedman's with Thermo-Tec wrap, as it's not show, just go....

L82- jws, when you ordered headers, did you order by application(1972 vette 4spd,ect) or did you order to fit "D" port exh on zz4 heads? Or both? Also, how did they fit/go on easy?

When I ordered my headers, I ordered the D port models. The fit and install went very smooth. No issues or fit problems. Had to remove and re-install clutch Z bar, but other than that, they have clearance on the starter, etc. Also, install from underneath.
The D ports will fit 63 thru 82.

The headers had gaskets in the box, but I opted for a better gasket.
Local speed shop may help with recommendation.
Headers installed very smooth. Just make sure you install from underneath, makes the job a whole lot easiser. I am very pleased with the JET HOT coating. In fact, I got a discount from them stating I was a forum member.

Not to hijack this thread... does this mean that the Dynomax headers I have will fit a d-port cylinder head as is? I have a friend selling some Phase 6 heads and they have d-ports while I have the standard port headers.
