What exhaust for ford v8 swap ?

Anyone have any links for exhaust for a 289 sb ford swap to 1987 toyota 4x4, contacted Northwestoffroad.com and was told they were $670.00 a set and that they only had 6 sets left and no more after that, let me know if you have used any other factory exhaust on your projects, I have heard maverick exhaust work, and some say stock mustang, this is my first swap and am not sure what one to use..Exhaust seems to be the only issue so far, Northwest has all the other parts.

Here is what I am using,
1987 toyota 4x4 sr5
22re (bad engine)
5 spd manual (w65)
stock transfer case and drivetrain

Replacement motor
1966 289 sb ford out of a mustang

The stock 5.0 headers off of a mustang work my buddy has them on his 302 powered sami and they fit. I plan on running them in my toy as well. You can get a set for around 300$ i believe.

I tried the 5.0 headers and they dump right above the frame.. Once i get around to it i'm going to try a set of block huggers from summit

we flopped the sides on the headers put the pass on the driver side and vise versa so the down pipes came out in front of the motor. Other wise yest they come out right on top of the frame.
