Default Suggestions on LS3 Race headers

Hello,

I am new here and just kind of lurk at the mods for '08 LS3. I have one that I am putting in a 69 Chevelle. I was looking for suggestions on headers for the LS3 and this seems like the best source for actual proven data as many of the '08 Corvettes are circulating. I am not worried about smog because '74 and older in California don't have to have emissions test. My thoughts are Kooks 1-7/8" x 3".
I would also be curious if the Corvette headers hug the block better as compared to the F-Body Camaros. I ask because they don't make any for my model car. I suspect that I will have to modify some what but I think it would be better than having a custom set made. Thanks, Tom
