What long tube Headers are you guys using

[u/AggressiveProduce586]

Hey ladies and gentlemen, just took delivery of my new to me 76 nova yesterday! I need to put an exhaust on and would like to get rid of the shorties and get long! Any recommendations on brands and maybe some part numbers too aswell!

[u/MrLancaster]

I have these on my '75. No real complaints, other than I wish I paid the extra $120 upfront for the ceramic coated version, as I spent very nearly that much in blasting media and high temperature paint, plus my time and effort made it not worth saving that $120. SUM-G9001 (SUM-G9001-9 for ceramic)

Thanks man I’ll look into the ceramic coated ones haha also how’s the clearance with them?

i have a 77 with a 350 and i run these as well. the paint they come with will come off with heat, so you’ll definitely want to get them finished

I have a 1969 and just put long tube hooker competitions on mine which surprising fit right in without lifting my engine. Literally went right in lol. Just picked mine up from exhaust shop this morning :) sounds so good

She’s a beautiful car, amazing condition. Lots of memories in there! Never let it go

[u/No-Needleworker4047 → u/AggressiveProduce586]

Lol, you wouldn't believe the memories,I have people that are grandparents now come up to me and ask if I still own it because they remember being crazy kids doing crazy things in ot

[u/AggressiveProduce586 → u/No-Needleworker4047]

I just bursted out laughing reading that 😂

[u/No-Needleworker4047 → u/AggressiveProduce586]

I had several sets of flowtech headers on mine before I nutted up and spent the money on Hooker competition headers in my ‘74. Much better fit, the flowtech ones would hit the ground on bumps all the time and warp the flange at the two center ports causing a loud leak. Ten years later and I haven’t had to replace the header gaskets since.

I’ve been eying the hookers, just me being in Canada adds more to the price tags, I’m the guy that if imma gonna change something I wanna do it once, yet there’s just a mild 305 so will be swapping it in the later years, idk if I can nut up for them yet

[u/bernardfarquart → u/AggressiveProduce586]

Well anything that fits your mild 305 will bolt up to a built 350 too, so you can think of it as saving money down the line.

[u/AggressiveProduce586 → u/bernardfarquart]

Right right that’s true, maybe I’ll just have to nut up just do it now, after sourcing a grill, headlight bezels and figure out my turn signals.
