Header Recomendations for 69 Z?

I am looking for header recomendations for the 69 Z... thinking about a period correct (Day 2) set... maybe white ceramic coated?

before you do white ceramic coated shoot Don a PM about them.

I put a set of Dynomax ceramic coated headers on my Z. They were cheap like $250 from Jegs. Have worked well so far. But one thing, they are not equal length.

I like the look of the old flat white headers... weren't they painted back in the day?

Check with Jeff H. but I think he put Stahl headers on his Z/28. I understand they can make them with the open flanges to where they look like a factory style header and the quality is first rate. I have used Dougs headers in the past and I think they have very good quality and they have a period correct look to them.

Tough to beat White Alumacoated headers...so cool, tough to care for though...

Ceramics are the best but dont look period.

Stahls are good headers but way to expensive. After you get them from Stahl you have to get them coated. I like Hooker Supercomp's. Talk to Frank Arone about header paint. His white headers look good on his COPO and he knows a guy that coats them. Flat white or black was the color back then. I had a set of yellow Hedmans for my first set on my SS nova. (1969)

If you are asking for a recommendation on color, I would say black as that was the color that they usually were painted back then. It would be interesting to find out who can coat them in that color in a ceramic type product. Also I think that someone has reproduced the factory style 67 and 68 Douglas and Kustom headers. But that doesn't help you much for a 69.
