you may want to look at the pypes or flowmaster 2.5" dual exhaust kits for the C3's. everything is already pre bent. all you would need it a muffler shop to make the piece that goes from the header collector to the trans crossmember. maybe if anyone here has used either system they can comment on how much tweeking these systems need to install them or if they are good right out of the box.

I like the Corvette Central pipes because they duplicate the factory pipes with all the little tweaks and bends for proper clearance, including being slightly flattened where they pass under the differential for maximum ground clearance. I’ve never had much luck with muffler shops. Around here they are mostly staffed with kids who weren’t qualified to flip burgers.

The shop I went to for a quote 20 years ago wanted about $1000 for just installing the pipes and hooking up the mufflers and the headers were already on the car. It was like $50 for the plain jane pipes and 950$ to bend and install. Probably $2000 now, lol. I may just go to CC and buy the '74 BB pipes which are 2-1/2" and do it that way and then have a shop mate the intermediate pipe to the headers if I can't do it myself.. In my case, 3' pipes are overkill.
