Headers for a '67 Pontiac with Pontiac power???

[atomicjoe23]

Any recommendations for exhaust headers for a '67 Pontiac Firebird still using a Pontiac engine???

Right now I'm leaning towards the Doug's headers, but it would be nice to find a set of stainless headers instead of steel headers with ceramic coating. . .

. . .car's getting set-up for Auto-X right now and hopefully there will be road course use in it's not too distant future as well.

Thanks!

Biggest problem with most Pontiac headers are
how low they hang... I have Dougs for my 70 bird
and they are way below the frame... if you can find
someone that has a set of the old HO tri-y headers
then coat them they are the best fit.. otherwise
you may have to have them made.. not really sure
about Dougs in a first gen but everything I have read
is noted above... there was a guy making tri-ys but he
got behind and finally disappeared

My 70 with Dougs but round port and 3 1/2" collectors

Thanks Panteracer. . .

. . .sounds like I will be buying the rear exhaust (Magnaflow???) and a set of header flanges (SS hopefully, I found some MS ones with starter tubes) and make the headers myself. . .looks like I'll be buying a set of those header construction helpers that Eastwood sells as well. . .

Mid-length headers are a sacrifice power wise but sure make these packaging issues much simpler. Just sayin...

There are several companies that make a cast iron
replica but updated of the old ram air headers etc
I believe Nightmare makes some...

Have you started making your own headers, or did you find some to buy?

I also have an 67 Firebird, I have Dougs, but they are uncoated, want some coated for less heat, and coated looks nice too.

I bought a set of coated Doug's headers. . .

. . .I have not installed them yet; things get pretty busy busy around the farm and cidery this time of the year.

Ah. Alright. How time flies!
