No y-pipe and the collector merge is lacking. But the fact that they have 1 3/4" primaries and are stainless is pretty intriguing.

LOL, yes, i would not use those gaskets. Probably not the bolts either. I think a y pipe woud be pretty easy to fabricate. 1 3/4 primaries are what has me interested. I have SLp tri-y's now and want to go with slp 1 3/4's but they are usually $400 used. I am going to send them some questions about guarentees and such.

Re: Ebay SS 1 3/4" Shorties Anyone try yet?

I have a pair of these sitting in my garage. I was going to use them on my 383 but with straight plug heads you need the short spark plugs and I didn't want to use them so I went with hooker instead.
They are made pretty well for the price. Welds are ok and the flanges looked straight enough when I had them bolted to the motor on the stand.
The collectors on these headers are only 2 1/2"
You can see from the pics the #6 plug is one that needs to be short. Even then it is a little tight for my liking.
