The bolt/stud mounting holes look to be in the wrong orientation for the type 4 heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Yes, stubs are included, just trying to determine the make.

It is missing stub pipes, European Racing. Honda also made a header, not sure if it used stubs or not, looks very close to your design.
European racing header Sub par to the Tangerine, but better than a Kerry Hunter The picture is of a Hondo Header, I forgot they don't have stubs. Same general design though if you notice the muffler and hanger. Attached image(s)

Hondo Co. Manufactured from the San Fernando Valley. Edelbrock bought them out...but shelved the a/r header program. They utilized the (patented) A/R Cone, which is basically a smaller tube placed just inside the header port of each inlet tube. The theory is that exhaust pulses will continue outbound...and not wind up trying to Reverse itself back towards the exhaust flow (Anti Reversion).
To figure out your tube I.D., use a caliper to measure the primary header tube O.D. Figuring that your header is constructed from 16 ga. tubing, subtract .125" (Wall thickness) from 1.5" (od) = 1.375" I.D. or 1 3/8". Suggestion: Take off the header wrap...it will disintegrate the pipes. Marty |

Looks like my Euro Racing Headers. Had them on my /4. Mine had springs on each pipe to help keep the 4 to 1 area together. Worked fine but the bottom pipe started blowing out at the 4 to 1 connection after a couple years. Fixable problem though.

The pipe layout doesn't look like any of the versions I can find on line right now. They are likely an older version, either by someone who isn't really doing them any more or by someone who is selling a revised version.
