Probably the SLP 1 3/4" which can be had in Emission
or Non.
Although with the 305 the 1 5/8 would help with the
torque side of it especially if the 305 not heavily modded.
Although don't know if you can get them anymore.

Re: best shorty headers

Yup, Slp not showing them anymore.
Probably cost factor and competition since they were
also stainless.
Keep in mind long tubes and ground clearance and space
in our cars.
Smog tubes can be cut off and plugged and still look
clean.
Thought at time my 1 3/4 SLP non smog headers were
overpriced but glad now I got them along with the kit
as nice setup.
HTH

Re: best shorty headers

If you have no need for air tubes then you might check out the Hooker 2460 headers.

If you drive your car on the street in the United States, then yes you have a need for the AIR tubes. Federal law says so.

Did you read my sticky post at the top of this forum "What's the best exhaust? What's the best headers?" And did you ?
