What headers are these
Hi everyone, I'm trying figure out what kind of headers these are. They came with the car when I bought it. The numbers stamped on the flange is 202098. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Looks like your standard crappy flotech headers. Toss them in the trash along with their shitty Y pipe

Re: What headers are these
I have a mystery set too. I got these off a guy who said he bought them back in the mid 90's from Supershops. He claimed they were for a thirdgen, but never installed. I have not attempted to install them either. I'm pretty sure Supershops went out of business long ago. The headers have no markings. They have some sort of bumpy aluminized coating on them and an o2 bung on one of the tubes that were never drilled out.

I think your best bet would be to do what I'm doing, look for a new set. Lol

Re: What headers are these
The headers in both photos have the same distinctive head flanges. Browsing search engine images for "sbc headers" seems to point to Flowtech.
I'm not on the market for headers but I'm curious.....what makes Flowtech crap? Poor fit? Poor materials?

Re: What headers are these
They have completely different tube configurations though. I think the guy I got them from said he thought they were "BlackJack" brand. Dynomax makes a BlackJack series of headers now, but I don't know about 20+ years ago when these were made. I have a feeling that these were made by some company that no longer exists. Anyway, they are probably going to stay hanging on my shop wall for all of eternity.
