Default What headers?

I've got a '76 and was wondering what kind of headers you guys use. I couldn't find any one that makes an aftermarket header for the vette and I'm sure someone does. Thanks for the help.

Are the Hooker and Hedman headers long tubes? Any of you guys got pic's of the headers installed on your car?

Hooker is good for off the wall applications that no one else carries and race applications, but for a driver, save yourself a couple of bucks and go with Dynomax or Hedman - coated of course.

Do yourself a favor and go the extra bucks for the ceramic coated. My 77 has Hooker Super Competition headers which are nice, but they are fairly corroded/rusted at this point. My engine looks nice and then you have these blah headers. You'll thank yourself in the morning.

Once again, Dynomax CeramaCoat, $209 from Jegs. These are Jet Hot Coated and you can't beat the price.
