Shorty headers are the practical choice on a B-body: they clear the steering and crossmember without the fitment fight of a long tube, and they bolt to the factory exhaust so the rest of the system stays put. Note the coating distinction, because it decides emissions legality. The TI-TECH version does not carry a CARB Executive Order, while the ceramic coated equivalent does.

Edelbrock 66033 Tubular Exhaust System Details:

• Shorty header set for 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS and Caprice, and Buick Roadmaster, with the 5.7L LT1 V8.
• TI-TECH coated finish.
• Supplied with two Chevrolet V8 port gaskets and a 2-1/4 in. donut gasket.
• No CARB Executive Order number applies to this part number, so it is not emissions legal in California. The ceramic coated 66032 carries the exemption.
• Do not apply thermal wrap or additional coatings, which voids the warranty.
