Exclamation Help! I know not what I do?

Hey guys!

I have a question. I am getting ready to drop in a newly rebuilt 390 into a fully rebuilt and painted chassis for my 73 F100 2wd. I have brought this baby back from the grave and I need some exhaust system advice.

Should I use headers or stock manifolds? If headers - who is the best choice? What type of coating? Will this cause me more problems?

Also, where the heck do you find an exhaust system? Also, I'd like to use 3 inch pipe. Is this a bad idea?

Thanks for the help!

I'd say 2.5" will be good, Not sure about where you can get headers but the exaust can be done at any shop, look for a smaller one though as you will usually get better service and mabey a bit lower pricing.
