Stock or aftermarket?

Both stock manifolds and aftermarket headers typically have a very distinct path they follow for a vette and a very different one for an F-body. They are not really interchangable.

From a flange standpoint either is going to bolt to your head but the pathways and collectors are positioned uniquely for either car.

What are you putting the motor in? Hybrid?

errr...it's going into a z32...and i'm trying to pick out a long tube with hopefully as lil to none modification as possible...and if both will bolt up but with different pipe routing then i need to look at both stock engine bay closely to see which would be a closer match to mine...can anyone take a pix of their exhaust manifold area on their fbody for me???

Do a search for exhaust pics, maby go to the installation section of the exhaust FAQ. The 'vette headers turn towards each other at the collectors to mate up with the 'vette's x-pipe, which about where the tranny would be on most cars.
