Headers recommended ?

Hi there ,
Im in New Zealand and just getting a few things together for an LS swap in my 86 Z28.
Can anyone recommend a good set of headers off the shelf that will work with the 3rd gen that are well priced , don't mind making some adjustments if required.
Ive been getting most of my parts ex US and sending them home ,
Probably more LS swap questions to come

Thank you Shane

LHD or RHD headers ?
As far as i know nothing is a direct bolt on fit for RHD.

LHD i hear the hawks stainless works units are pretty trick.

If LHD, go with the Racing Innovations headers. For $300 US, you can't beat it.

I have those on my swap. No fitment issues. For $300 it's a good deal.
