Well, if they did, they'd have long tubes, at least, that would also work with the SS. Not sure there's market for a new set, though, since there are several vendors already in the market.

I wrote a really long reply, but for some reason my phone decided it didn't want to post. To cut it down, headers probably could be made to fit, but I didn't want to start bashing new headers, as my oil cooler had some drips on it, so the gasket was probably on its way out. All the parts cast less than $30 to remove it. Rent an axle nut socket set to make removal of the block plug easier. I think it was a 35mm, but I'm not 100%. This was with pacesetters. Pypes may fit differently, as they are a tri-y. I have DoD deleted, so I am not as concerned with oil break down. Good luck!

You asked about belt tensioner problems-
Mine had a pulley that sounded like it was grinding rocks. I got a "kit" from Rock Auto with a belt and tensioner.
About a month later my steering suddenly felt heavy while driving on the highway, then the alternator indicator dinged on and the temp started to rise... Pulled over and found the tensioner snapped in two.
The aftermarket part was much thinner than the OEM. I ended up digging the OEM out of the scrap pile, swapped pulleys, and reused the OEM. So if you do replace your tensioner I recommend buying OEM or try to just get a new pulley if that's all is wrong. The OEM body is quite robust.
