Pls see attached pics ofvthe headers I plan to run (small block) when car gets back from paint. It's a 67 coupe.
Can anyone tell where to get the pipes which would connect to these headers? In fact, I would need all the way back to the tips!
Unfortunately, I have no clue what brand they are, and there are no markings on them?
Thanks

This is what you need but with a 45 degree not a 90*.


That 90* is too sharp a bend you need a 45*
IMO with all the trouble the shorty's are going to cause I wonder if some long tube headers wouldn't be a better choice.


Something like this would be what you're looking for. They would just hook up to your headers reducers.

To my knowledge, nobody makes adaptor downpipes for shorty headers. Header lengths are not standardized accross the industry so every header is a bit different. Pypes/MagnaFlow/Flowmaster all make what they call 'crossmember back' kits that will either meet up your full length headers or use an engine specific downtube if you're using manifolds. Like I said before, Shorties are in that no-man's land so a custom pipe will need to be fabricated. You will need to decide between X-Pipe, H-Pipe, or True Dual exhaust. Pypes makes all 3 types and you can choose any of their mufflers or no mufflers if you want to use something different, Flowmaster systems are strictly H-Pipe, and MagnaFlow is X-Pipe. There are sound clips here to help you decide.

I was thinking if you can't find the parts on-line that it might be a problem for you but if its no problem then more power to you.

Good Luck with the gto ;)
