<VV> Exhaust swap- will it work?

[Matt Nall]

Welcome to VV !   You can be glad you asked here 1st!

1  Those are NOT Headers......they are 2 glasspack mufflers with welded on 
"U-pipes"  and "Bell tips"

2  They are designed to fit on a dune buggy type vehicle:  engine out in the 
open

3  YES, they will bolt up..ALL  exhaust manifolds EXCEPT  140 hp engines are 
the same..even Turbo's [ if not using a turbo].

3A   They most likely will have to be installed with the U-pipes running 
DOWNWARD...may be too low?  AND the tailpipes on a Corvair are supposed to 
exit out the sides......to keep exhaust from re-circulating back to the 
engines' fan....although many  do it..

3B   If installed with U-pipes going upwards....you may need to cut holes in 
the rear bodywork for the tips to protrude.

4  These types are extremely loud.....and may have been removed as soon as 
the fiberglass packing burnt out.....meaning no mufflers!!

5  Headers??   These are exhaust tubing that eliminates the "Logs" / 
Manifolds.....allowing better engine performance at HIGH rpm.....not around 
town driving..
