    6901 Hookers are the best headers for fitment.
    Plenty of others fit, but often require tweaking.
    There are shortys out there too, but they don't offer the same performance.

    Nobody has a bolt in mandrel bent exhaust that I know of myself.
    If you get a system made, try to use mandrel bends unless you are on a budget.
    Regular shop bends are very restrictive.
