What kind of headmans are these?

I bought them for 50 bucks a year ago I know they are headmans but I don't know anything else about them, I might be buying some hooker 02460's shortys and put those on but Im not sure if these headmans would be better or not? Plus im in cali and the hookers would be smog legal and the headmans need the AIR and the o2 to pass, I could put add the o2 my self and I could make the factory AIR work for it but it would not be a CARB set up and Im not sure if it would pass inspection. If you need better pictures I have some closer ones.

Those will not pass inspection. Any shorty hedder for 3rd gens with AIR should come with a CARB number for leagality. I would go that route. Much cheaper and headcahe free in the future.

Does the CARB number come on the headers or in paperwork? I am still curious as to what kind of Headmans they are.

The carb number comes in both paper work and usualy sticker form to keep under your hood to keep you leagal. I am not sure what hedmans those are.

They look like the standard 68460 long tube header.

Measure, should be 1 5/8" primaries and a 3" collector.

I like mine but there is no way you would be able to use them as they will never pass an inspection. They did get me three tenths an two mile and hour in the quarter though and you can definately tell driving around town as well.

Oh, forgot to add...nice performance R.U.S.T. coating.

But yea, they are lacking the AIR tubes for legality.
