Stock exhaust manifold or custom built header.

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.
