Re: Ebay headers...

The pipe routing and bends look almost exactly like my Summit racing headers that fit like a glove. However the flanges on mine are a different shape and my pipes are welded all the way around instead of being tacked on the top and bottom only.

Re: Ebay headers...

Where to buy?
