Need exhaust advice/ '84 Firebird
Need exhaust advice for an '84 Firebird with a swapped in 350 w/driver side dipstick. Original drivetrain was a 305/auto, car is still automatic.
This engine is probably #4 or #5 to be swapped into the car in the last 4 years and hopefully the last. The OEM exhaust is intact from the cat back but the Y pipe is toast and according to my mechanic the manifolds are out of square plus the factory manifolds won't let me use any sort of dipstick since the car was originally passenger side.
I'm thinking the car will definitely get headers but what do you guys recommend? Looking to reuse the stock cat and muffler for now.

Don makes some of the nicest headers available for our cars.
