Default Header to Back Systems

Does anyone have any experience with Corvette Centrals Header to Back System for a 76'? Would love to go side pipe but want to save some money and legs burns. CC looks like a Patriot Aluminum Tuck Headers to Magnaflow 60 series exhaust, boltup looks pretty straight forward. I'm not looking to Rock the world but at present I have a Crate 350 with original Manifold, Cat Converter and the quietest Muffler's known to man. Reviews or suggestions would be extremely helpful before click the purchase button.

I would buy ceramic coat long tube headers and a Pypes or Magnflow system......
You lose a lot of flow with that system due to the 2" headpipes leading to the block hugger headers......
For my money....if I am going to buy a whole system.....I am going to buy the system that is as functional as can be. Long tube headers are a noticable improvement over block huggers and manifolds.

So if I purchase the long tube headers along with an exhaust system I still need someone to fabricate a connection between the collector and the pipes? ...sorry if this sounds stupid, my experience level is low and knowledge is low but I'm soaking everything up!

Yes….but it is not a hard job for a muffler guy….they will weld it up and you are done…
