Thanks for the tip Lee!

Awesome, can’t wait to see them on the car. Are you going with black?

That is good question I thought so but then Dennis suggested white???

open to thoughts.

IMO, I think white would look great for underhood headers but not for side pipes. I’d personally ceramic coat them in a glossy metallic silver. It will almost look chrome from afar yet be way more durable and stay cooler. Not sure if a ceramic coat would be considered “day 2” though. You also can’t go wrong with a flat black.

If they are going on that beautiful 74'Z I think black would look killer with the black stripes and the contrasting wheels and they would look great against the black rocker panels.

Looking at your pics- they look nearly identical to Corvette headers.

I sold my last set of SB Corvette Hookers last year, and my 2nd Gen Z28 is a BBC-so I don't have the opportunity any more to check SBC fit- but I wonder how close the Corvette headers actually are to fitting a 2nd gen Camaro?

I also wonder if the side tube lengths are close?

Lot of work to pull one side of the exhaust off my L71 Corvette and the corresponding side off my LS6 powered 2nd gen just to check- but my curiosity is however somewhat piqued now for a future Motion clone 2nd gen build project that may or may not materialize here in the not so distant future...

Has anybody tried to fit the Corvette Hookers on a 2nd gen Camaro?

Yes I have the Corvette ones are not even close. They all look kind of the same, but thef fit with no extra room
