A new member to the Vic club has a very neat 350 with extractors that don't go through the guards, I think he made them.
I don't mind them going through the guards, looks tough, Trev

EK 61.

If you use block huggers you will still have to cut them up higher at the collector, shorten them and reweld them to fit, they still come to close to the crossmember after doing that.
Tony Grima made his own, and his are pretty tight.

I made mine from stainless, but you can't see em, cause there wrapped.

You can use 96 Corvette headers, they travel down towards the rear, making a nice neat fit, still allowing plenty of room on the sides.

Good Luck
Regards John

i made mine from scratch didnt want them to exit through the inner sub frame to give us more room i scolloped a internal curve ouy of the upper y frame that bolts to the fire wall then plated this with 8mm steel and welded in it was one of the requierments from my engineer it also runs a tune port injected chev then ceramic coated 12 thousand kays latter they still look like they did the day i finished them

Just depends on the look Dave your after.

I cut the guards on both the sedan and the panelvan, if you need measurements let me know as the panelvan has no engine atm. Pretty easy to gauge off the pic.

Made it easier for straight piping in the sedan and I wanted flexibility with both the EK's "just in case" i need to swap stuff.
