Default Sidepipe Question

I currently have a 1976 Corvette and I have Standard Headers. I was wondering if I had to purchase new Headers in order to install sidepipes or if it was possible to get custom curved pipes that would connect my exhisting headers to the sidepipes. (my headers curve to the back of the vehicle. Im not sure whether i need the headers that curve to the sides of the vehicle) Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you :)

We have a 74 in the shop now getting side exhaust but he got new headers along with the side exhaust all from Hooker. I know Zip carries exhaust systems. try and give them a call and see what options they have for you. You may be able to get 69 repo side exhaust for it without changing the headers. I'm not sure.

I believe Allen Exhaust makes 69 type side pipes that will mate with headers.
