Long tube Hooker headers, 2.5" duals, and a pair of Magna Flows.
I have Hooker side mount headers and side pipes, but I did the above to one of the other '77 Vettes I owned and the sound was fantastic.

Not to high jack the original thread but I have been curious about header installation. I have a 1978 L 48 with the rams head manifolds. The previous owner put true dual exhaust and Flowmsters. With a set of headers bolt right up to the exhaust flanges or do you need to cut and weld to make them fit?
Thanks in advance

ribilly - There are some brands of shorty headers that are designed to connect to the existing factory exhaust. How well they match up, I don't know. No long tube headers will work without modifying the exhaust to match.
