My Brother and I did an engine swap into his C4 Vette last year. He had the exact same problem. He ended up opting for headers, but he kind of wanted headers anyway. If this is your wife's daily driver, she may not want them.
This site's For Sale/Trade section is a good place to start for used parts. Other than that, eBay is usually my second stop.SOLD: 2002 Trans Am WS.6 - Black on Black - 6 Speed
