Default 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.

Man they are PARANOID! There is NO inspection for any pre 75 vehicles, and so could never get penalized for any sales for such vehicles. SMH....

+2. I was looking at these because the #7 pipe is kinked forward a little to allow for a stock z-bar.

They used to be $249.
