I recommend you check with the traditional header suppliers (Hooker, for example) to see if their Corvette headers also fit a Camaro. I suspect not, since typically each vehicle platform is unique based on crossemember location, steering gear location, frame contours and front steer vs rear steer (tie rod location) and requires a different header. For example, I used '74 Nova headers on my '74 Chevelle and had to modify 6 of the 8 tubes.

Secondly - I think you are going to find that the headers terminate too far rearward in the car to make a nice connection to the side pipe inlet. You will probably end up with a &quot;shorty&quot; headers as mentioned above, and then a small single pipe to make the connection.
