Default Direct replacement for ram horns

Anyone know of a set of headers that are a direct replacement for the manifolds?

Dante,

Sanderson make a "Block Hugger" header for the small block and claim it clears everything in a Corvette engine compartment.

McJacks-I have them and they are a direct replacement for the ram horns in a shorty header-will fit exactly dimensionally like the ramhorns adn will hook right up to a stock dual exhaust system with zero modifications!!! Do a google searcg on Mcjacks headers!

Another alternative to consider are the replacement rams horns made by Speedway Motors. They offer a cast stainless (available polished) that offers larger passages/better flow than stock but fit in the stock location.

Cheapest route is a set of used C4 headers.....

OR if you watch the wiring, a set of Schoenfeldheaders.com #151 seems to work fine on my car for some years now....

I have a set of direct replacement McJacks shorty headers for sale on the Forum C3 for sale forum. They are a great, high quality option. The only reason I did not use them is that my plans changed to a SB 427 and I went to 1 3/4" full length headers. They are brand new, never used. Contact me if you want info.
