I found a cheap 3" fatback that I'll hopefully be picking up sometime next week. However, I'm still looking for some headers and a Y-pipe to complete the exhaust. Im looking for something with 1-5/8" or 1-3/4" primaries, 3" collector, and no AIR tubes. I've only got a 305 now but if everything works out, I'll have a 350 in the car. I figured the 1-3/4" primaries would just allow more room to grow... such as a 383 down the road.

I found a set of SLP 1-3/4" headers and 3" Y-pipe for $300 but was wondering if anyone had anything cheaper.

Yeah I had a feeling that was a good price since they're stainless and everyone always makes it sound like SLP headers are the top of the line (at least on TGO...), but the one downside is a small dent in a primary. The guy says he had to do it to get them installed on the motor. The headers he has don't have any air tubes on them and the Y-pipe already has the 45* bend needed to hook it up to a normal catback for these cars. Money is tight so I'm on the fence about it, and like I posted elsewhere, I'm still not sure what I'm doing with the motor. I guess I'm hoping some new valve seals and a tune up will keep it going at least another season but sticking a 350 in there is tempting.
