So what's your opinion...any suggestion...would going with a new exhaust system utalizing the original manifolds be just as good for now? Or any header ideass..

B-bodys are "Rear Steer" as in, the steering box & linkages are behind the front wheels instead of in front like they are on A-bodies.

This makes things very complicated for exhaust routing... and as such there are no off the shelf headers available.

The factory dual exhaust setup with S drivers side manifold works well and yiou will notice a HP gain with it. The manifold is found on all 65 - 67 Starfire optioned BB engines and 68-70 W33 factory dual exhaust BB's. The manifold is reproduced and available from sources one being Thornton.
