Hey Guys
Is it possible to buy a readymade bundle of snakes for a 302 SBF? My pal paid $7500 to have his custom made but his was for a Coyote so im hoping the SBF has a cheaper prefabricated option.

Dang, I need to get into the header-making business.
Hi Vinax, the header sets are made to fit with the engine and transaxle you are planning to use. I know Race Car Replicas offers sets to fit with ZF, Audi, and Ricardo tranaxles.
$7500 for a pair of headers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Geez, that sounds like a lot.
I will have a set available for a SBF that are provided with a Superformance roller. My engine has the Gurney Heads so they don't work. PM me if interested.
Adding my .02 cents here.....for you EFI guys, that exhaust needs to be air-tight, i.e. no leaks, no dependency on Hi-Temp silicone, etc. Any undesired oxygen (leak) will get picked up by the very sensitive wide-band O2 sensor and play havoc with your target Air-Fuel ratio, which can result in the car running pig rich. So a good quality stainless exhaust with DOUBLE-SLIP joints at the primary-collector union, and preferably V-band clamps at the Collector-Muffler union will work extremely well.
Now, the more advanced ECU/FADECs can be set to open loop in some or all rpm/load scenarios by a competent tuner, however, that is not the intent of EFI, so remember....Shit in-Shit out!
