Default Shoenfeld 180 headers

Hey y’all, has anyone tried using shoenfeld 180 degree headers on a c3? Considering them as I like the sound but unsure if they’ll fit.
thanks for any input

Didnt know there were 180 deg headers made for the C3. Anyone have a link?
Those usually arent a bolt in deal Id love to see an image of a set if somoene knows of one

member in the C5 sec made a set yrs back for his, sound was 180 deg type but not quite like he hoped for unless my recollection is wrong.
Not sure there was a "worth it" difference in power. Sure looked bitchin'

yeah I like the sound a lot but if I were to go that route I’m thinking would definitely need some modifications to fit ha, thanks

There was a test mule, I think a 69 with a ZL-1 engine that Zora was testing that had 180 degree headers on it. Sort of had megaphone type exits coming out at an angle under the rockers.

That car has been rebuilt/restored. I remember reading an article about it years ago. I may have scanned it or have pictures of it somewhere on my other computer.

Pic above are not 180 deg pieces. If you gotta have the sound find somoene who can fab up a set for you.
It wont be cheap but youll be the only guy with them. That co has been around for many decades we used to run their headers
on circle track cars. Some of the super modifieds? Would show up occasionally with 180 deg headers
