Other than a old set of Hedmans one of our members, Jerry Christanson makes some. John Mummert is working on getting some made but it may be a while. You can find links to John and I think Jerry on the links page. The problem is the location of the motor mount and steering gear on the drivers side seriously limits the space.
There is a company on the net called Red's Headers that makes a couple versions of them. None of these has proved up on the DYNO. I'm not sure about Jerry's, they are a nice set that look somewhat tuned but I don't think they have been on the DYNO as yet.
I'm waiting to see what happens with the Mummert project. The prototype looked very interesting. Chuck

Is the engine actually in a Fairlane? Because Sanderson makes a set of headers for TBird Y-blocks including 292s. Not sure about fitment restrictions in your vehicle. I think I remember Ted saying that they're good for an additional 8-10 HP pretty much right across the board over the traditional exhaust manifold.

Yes, Fairlane 500 with original 292.

Bob, Not much available for cars except some fenderwell headers. Don't think you want to go cutting up your nice 'new' car. On a good note you do have the best stock manifolds available for Y-Blocks. '57 was a good year for parts; rockers, heads, exhaust manifolds, intake manifold, distributor, etc. And don't forget... BLOWERS 
Some of the guys mod their intake, I believe there is a thread on here how.

The ones John (Jardine) was working on were for 55 & 56 cars, not sure how they would work in a 57 but I think they are finished and Mummert has them listed on his site.

John has had them on his site for quite awhile now, but N/A as of yet. All you get is a picture to drool over, haha. No price, no info. 
WOW!! I just got the dreaded YELLOW ERROR PAGE!!!

You can delete the multiples. The button is on the right, next to "Edit."
That error screen seems to be coming up for every post now for me.

Here is the testing Ted did on different exhausts. the 57 manifolds are not that bad. The sanderson t-bird headers are short and might fit your 57.

The right side header on a T-Bird is the same as a passenger car, the left side is made to clear the steering box on a T-Bird, I see no reason it wouldn't work on a passenger car.
