Headers / exhaust for 500 HP LT1?
I've got an LT1 / T56 in a third gen Camaro making between 500-540 flywheel Horsepower, give or take... Flo-Tec heads with matched intake, 236/242 cam, etc...
It's got a pair of some rather small Hooker headers on it right now. My question is, which production headers would be best for my application in terms of mid-high RPM performance as well as ground clearance? I'm favoring long tubes and certainly not opposed to a tuned, equal-length header.
I'd like to also run some exhaust piping behind them and be able to clear my subframe connectors, Behind-bars racecars fuel tank, etc... I'm thinking about just doing dumps off a couple of bullet mufflers, or a Y-pipe and some sweet cut-outs before the Y-pipe and muffler.
Any ideas? Thanks

If you got a rich uncle that's fading fast, I'd consider these:
