The offset gas tank can be problematic for the duals. They can exit right behind the rear wheels. '68 Newport Custom Barge on a Budget!!

What you want are Hooker Competition F body (Aspen/Volare) headers. They have thick flanges, and fit in without having to do any modifying to the tubes. The headers in my signature picture of my Fifth Avenue are those exact same headers. Dual exhaust is also not a problem. The gas tank can be moved over a strap to make room for the driver's side pipe. 1987 Fifth Avenue - 512/518/D60
