It is the new Lindsey Racing header. The picture is the test fitment of the first one on my 2.8 liter build up. Been waiting for the header to finally get my car back on the road.

Look nice, but also look to be not equal-length.

Have they been pulse-optimized for a particular RPM?

Not being the same lenght is it going to be a problem?

It's not designed to be equal length, it is an optimized stock replacement. Single piece runners and better merges to the crossover flange. Same tubing size as stock and is made of whatever it is headers are made from.

Very nice. I like the long merge and 1-piece flange. Will these be Jet-Hotted or Swained?

They look almost equal length.

Decent price for a stock replacement.

Also, they look welded toegther? ie, they are "one piece"?

They are made from tubing and welded at the merge and flanges. Each runner is one piece of tubing.

Wow I'm digging the 1 piece flange too... no more trying to pry the headers with a crowbar to get them to line up with the holes in the head.
