Default In Need Of 3rd Gen Help.

So a buddy of mine owns a 1982 z28 with a 305 4 barrel carb.
Im helping him out by searching for some Headers.
Heddman, or Flowtech is what he would prefer. He wants to do a 2.5 or 3 setup, depending on price so If any of you 3rd gen guys know where to get them, please let me know.
Positive feedback is Greatly Appreciated.

I'd go with some Dyno Don headers. Search for them on TGO.

Tell him to go to thirdgen.org and PM 'Dyno Don.' He can fab up race style or smog legal headers, whichever your friend prefers. He has a shop out here in OC.

Dope. How much would you be wanting to sell them for?
Also interested in a Y pipe, so if anyone has a whole combo.
2.5- 3 inch on either one.
it would be great.

Is that a good price or way too much?
100 bucks is a 100 bucks. but quality, flow, sound, performance, etc.

I prefer something local, fast, rather than buying, plus shipping, then waiting etc.
