Stock exhaust manifold or custom built header.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Look on speedway motors see if they sell a shorty header for it would be your best bet.

Re: what can i do about this exhaust?

Your going to have to change it. Either replace those headers or cut till they are even with the frame. You mentioned you can weld, so lets see what you got.

Re: what can i do about this exhaust?

Why don’t you shorten the headers to pick them up in the frame rails then y them into a single 2 ¾” or 3” pipe and rout it like a v8. The volume you will be pushing with that engine will be well with in the 2 ¾” pipes cfm rate and it will be easy to rout.
