Default What HEADERS are these???

Hey guys,

I just picked up a USED set of headers for my 86 C4, (they're not here yet) and don't know who makes them.

Anybody have any idea???

I know they're ugly, I plan on cleaning them up.

BTW: Thanks to skateparkdave and ACECO for helping with posts of pics!!!!

Hard to tell who the manufacturer is. Appears to use the stock bolts. The smog tube setup almost looks to be homemeade

Those are TPIS. Should fit well. If you can afford it, have them coated and they will last a long time.

Well it looks like these are TPIS headers alright. I just saw a pair on eBay without the EGRs, look identical.
