What's wrong with this picture??
I went to put on my new headers today and they were the wrong ones. I thought for sure the exhaust was stock but maybe it's not. If anyone can look at the pictures below and let me know where I went wrong I would appreciate it. The old dumpy headers are the ones that came off of my car. The powdercoated black headers are the new ones I wanted to install. I thought about just chopping the exhaust to make it fit, but it looks like they'll drop to low and hit the ground. Can anyone tell me what headers came off my car?? Thanks!!

Well I thought it may be easier just to throw some new ones on. The old ones have holes in the top from where I removed the smog equipment so I didnt want to have to repair those either. If I can figure out what the old headers are supposed to be for I can replace 'em.

Here is a picture of my Flowtech headers. These are the ceramic coated ones, but they also come in black paint. Yours look pretty close to mine.
The black ones that you have look like the ones that everyone has been talking about on eBay. Most of them don't have the required ground clearance. They look they fit a full size chevy or a p/u truck.

I don't know if your car is a 4spd or auto, but if it's a 4 speed, I don't think that #7 tube on the new headers would clear the Z-bar.
Hopefully they refund you your money. A good company would get the shipping since they didn't sell you what you thought you were getting. But that's probably too much to ask these days.
