I believe Hooker Super Competition headers will fit the bill. What heads are you running? You'll need different headers depending on if you're running D-port or Round port heads. Most aftermarket heads are based on the Round port design.

Here's a pic of a D-port head.


And a round port (also note the 7F6 casting number)




Notice the center two ports. On D-port heads they neck down together, and on Round Port heads they come straight down.

A good place is to go to high performance pontiac web site. Or pick up the mag. they have some good stores listed to get headers. I have always used hooker super comps.

Another GOOD site is Pontiacregistry.com. LOTS of good info and help especially for the late model Pontiacs.

I can appreciate the looks of a coated header but if you want a system that is going to fit correctly and last without constantly needing new gaskets get a reproduction set of Ram Air cast iron exhaust manifolds (Year One and many others) and a correct exhaust system from Gardner Exhaust and you'll be much happier in the long run.
