Help me identify these headers

I may buy these headers off of a fellow board member. I know they are made by hooker, but i am not sure which ones they are.

Well i asked him, but our contact is via email and is kinda slow. So i was trying to get a quicker answer. Thanks though

Being what they are, will a y-pipe be a huge pain in the butt?

I know my stock y-pipe wont work, will i need to have one made then?

Thanks again

i just installed 2460, you HAVE TO get a custom made y pipe which can run from 100 for a bad one to 350 for a good one + collectors+ new spark plug wires + etc. it is not to easy or cheap.
i got a very high quality one made, but it cost more then my headers, which were ceramic coated, which you should cause those look terrible

The headers in those pics are Hedman #68470, Look at the tag and the loose flanges, Hooker flanges are welded at the factory,
And that is definitly a Hedman ID tag on the header. Those sell new coated for $249 and the matching y-pipe uncoated is $85

Just contrary to:

Could actually be better, because Hedman makes a y-pipe for their shortie hedders.

I promise those ARE Hedmans, And yes the y-pipe situation is a definite plus!!! Also, Those are the old flat flange style, Which Hedman no longer makes, They now make all ball and socket like SLP. We have 1 more flat flange y-pipe left for sale. Summitt has no more and neither do Jegs, We have been trying to get more. With no luck. We just happened to get one on a return from a customer that wanted a dual cat y instead of the single. It is coated so it is for sale for $135 to 3rd gen members only.
If you find a flat flange y on e-bay it would be a VERY wise investment to buy it and sit on it as that is the 1st part of the exaust to rust through and in a year or so it will be a highly sought after item!!! LOL just some advice for a few extra bucks or to help someone out!!!
