Default 68 camaro big block headers

Hey guys I know this is "LS1 TECH" but I was hoping someone could help me out here. Me my brother and my dad are rebuilding a 68 camaro and after getting all the bullshit paint done and the engine rebuilt its time for headers. Its a 396 BB, does anyone have any suggestions on what headers to run and a good exhaust setup?

Hooker Super Comp Headers and Flowmaster exhaust always sound good on the old Big Block cars.

I used to Build Headers in the 60's and still have two sets for 67-69 396-427 Camaro . 2" equal Length, round collector with 4 bolts caps ,akes for tighter fit. Designed by Jim Dugan Micky Thompson's header designer, Crager took over his business and build most after that..we hired them to produce our headers and package. Asking $150, plus shipping from Victoria BC Canada
