What headers are these?? [Pic]
I have been offers these headers by a local guy, that dosent know anyting about these headers, other than they came of a modified 87´vette.
Can someone tell me what brand they are?
The guy said hokker, but I am not sure...
Would these headers be a nice with my freeflow KBD mufflers, and only main cat. Actualy a have both a cat that are gutterd and a standard to those from.

Thanks!
Mine looks too have a smaller size tubes?
What will these do to my allmost stock car?
Only mods: Free flow Mufflers, K&N, and Air foil
I have both a gutterd and a stock cat as option

Those pics look like 1 3/4" headers to me.
Almost stock car? It'll sound meaner, it might give you a little bit more torque in the mid RPM range. Otherwise not much. Now if you plan on upgrading the intake / heads / cam at any point you'll see much better gains.

I dont think those are TPIS headers unless they redesigned them at some point....I've had two different set of TPIS headers...
Notice the differences in mine and 89sleepers vs LARS headers
First Set
Second Set
I have yet to install mine but Im hoping I notice a gain

I wonder if having unequal lengths could be of benefit at some rpms.. based on the uneven firing order of each bank... obviously this wasn't LPEs intent though.

He's getting a great header which should have no hit or miss fitment issues such as say, with Hookers.
I´ll be honest I dont really know that much about Headers. Its just when used Corvette parts are up for sale in this part og the world, you better grap while they are there..
So when can say they are 100% LPE´s ?
Where can I find some info on these headers, as I understand they are top end headers?

Oh and BTW, unless they made them in both sizes, these should be 1 5/8" primary tube headers, perfect for your needs.
