4th gen x-body headers?

I'm looking for recommendations for my lq4 swap, I used stock style exhaust manifolds for my 5.3, but since ive got a sloppy stage 2 and ported heads i think i should get headers to support the horsepower gains. I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas on what would fit? Part numbers would be appreciated. Tyia!

4th gen Novas shared much front end construction with the Gen 2 Camaro. You might check out Camaro LS swap headers.

If it's for a post-1975 car, I get it. What about earlier applications?
Btw, I live 40 miles south of there...

they wouldn’t sell me headers for my 67 Chevelle. I asked about a 65 or older (66+ have emissions standards just no smog learned that from CARB) and was told that they won’t sell longtubes to ANY CA resident and ship here. I even tried asking about if it was a OHV like a race car or sand rail.. was told no..

in fact, I ordered some and shipped to my brother out of state. They called me and were asking all kinds of questions if I meant to ship to my brother etc.. kind of strange.
