Depends.

If you go with EFI manifolds from an 87+, you just need a walker downpipe.

If you have duals, you'll have to get a whole new exhaust. the singles wont fit without mods either.

sorry man not sure i got that. Im talking about a header not manifolds.
what do you mean by EFI. is there a diffrence in the 87 because i have an 80. and i thought the down pipe was part of the stock exhaust.

THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME

If you have an 86 or older, you can use the 87+ manifolds like headers. They give you better flow, and are fairly easy to bolt up.

However, with regular headers, you'll have to fab up a y-pipe or have duals bent the whole way back.

Header will give a little more power, but if you can get the manifolds in the junkyard, it'd be a lot cheaper.
