Sounds like a fun project! I know that Pat (citcapp) has a 455 in his 1957 but am not sure what he did for exhaust. If you don't get a reply to this post soon you might try sending him a private message. John

If you've gotta go custom, there's Iggy's in Harwood Heights, Ill, still doing completes.
I've been using them for 45 years!!

I looked at the price of custom headers and went with original W/Z headers I found on e-bay for a good price instead and 2.5" exhaust. Breathes just fine the way the 455 is built.

I'd be very surprised if someone sold headers for this particular swap. Your options are custom headers, modify headers designed for another car, or use stock manifolds.
