OK we fixed the transmission and the other electrical stuff now that they had to drop the exhaust on my project for my wife we found the drivers side manifold was jerry rigged.  So far i canno find one like it does anyone know where to get one for this year.  I am still running the computer with the full emmissions system.Wits%20End rescuejt2007-06-19 12:44:15

They look like factory headers with a emmissions tube that comed off of top of each header that hooks to a main pipe that come up and connects into the emissions hoses and air pump on the motor rescuejt2007-06-15 16:23:16

I was going to say, I have the "Hooker Header" set up with all the tubing welded in from when I changed out my motor etc.  But if you found one, looks like you are hooked up.

OK i don't wait long!  I am replacing the entire exhaust i ordered the kit from corvette central below.
 
 
 
I also ordered a new stage 2 chip.  What else do I need to do when i disconnect the air pump and other things related to that emissions system like the converter will be gone too.
