Default Doug’s headers….very nice!
I just got my new Doug’s headers for my BB swap. I had some concerns about the packaging after reading some threads in here but taking them out of the box they were wrapped very well!

I don’t have my engine yet so I can’t comment on fit but I see clearance on the #3 tube. These things look great, stainless pipe, welds are beautiful and nice thick flanges. Very happy with the, hopefully they fit well.
