Take a look at Hooker ceramic coated headers. I've got them on my 72 and they are great. I got them from summitracing.com.

Are you thinking on Hooker's nest-of-snakes style header/sidepipe combo?

Here's what the nest-of-snakes look like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Corve...98095919QQrdZ1

BTW these are in bad shape.

Thanks PG
I really had fun helping to put her together and pick out everything I wanted to try on her. Topped the headers off with a complete stainless steel exhaust system including mufflers. Just had the wheels aligned yesterday and she is ready for the spring/summer, if it ever gets here. Michigan weather is not cooperating this year. Teases us with 60 degree weather then jumps back to high 20"s with snow. Getting anxious to get her out after her complete restoration.
