Which headers are you all using on these old trucks, that have a Camaro sub under them?

Well, I don't have a Camaro Sub ... but I've got BlockHugger headers on my 350 sbc.

I have a Camaro sub in my truck . I can tell you what not to run if that helps?
I have a set of HOOKER's under my hood and they are way too long......I have looked at Sanderson headers and they seem to have figured the problem out , drop em a line or go to web site and check em ' out. but get out the dinero.
You can just put your fist under the front fender of my truck and the Sub sits so low that everytime I get on one of these Tejas country roads I bottom out the headers. I finnaly cut the collectors off and welded straight to the 3" exhaust to get another 3/4 of an inch clearance.
Throws nice sparks though....................

I have a 1980 camaro front steer sub and I have sanderson headers. They look and fit good , and yes they were pricy $350 I think.
