I have mine with the jet coating and it doesn't really reduce the heat that much....lots of power = lots of heat....john;35

77CVT:
"....it will be probably easier and cheaper to have a set made...."  - Yep!

You can also try the block hugger type.

I had a full exhaust made, coated, for around $1900.  The coating does make a difference in heat but as John said, it gets hot under there anyway! Every bit helps.

MADVET:
I bought a set of Hooker headers for mine about ten years ago so it was before any RHD ones were available. Although for a C4 i ended up having to modify one of the pipes on the right hand side. I figured it would be lot easier to do that than building a set from scratch.
I also have a set of the block hugger type on my project Camaro. These are great for ground clearance because you only end up with one pipe tucked up under the car on each side rather than a collection of pipes which end up hanging down low.;42

demonx:
Went in to get my headers fitted today, bad news was they won't fit. They looked nice, but: not gonna happen.

Looks like I'll be getting them made.

When I was at the local exhaust joint (best in town) and he was calling the reps looking for the best headers for me one of them suggested block huggers, his words were "yucky poo". I asked him why and he said "they're sh#t, trust me, you don't want them"

I have to trust the guy, he knows his stuff.

69 DIRTY RAT:
You want equal length headers, those block huggers would work only slightly better than stock! You could always return your vette back to LHD then get headers cheap from the US! Back when my vette was red I bought some equal length Hedman Headers from summit racing for about $300 landed! (back when the $ was $0.50c) They were fantastic! That leaves $1600 for a conversion back!!!
