Default Breathless Headers??????

Anybody know anything about these, other than they're damn expensive new?? A friend of mine asked me about how much power they make as hes looking at a used set. Anybody have any experience with them?

I don't have any idea on what kind of power they make but I took a look at them when I went to their shop last week. very interesting design. I like how you can swap your clutch with the headers installed. They look like very nice headers. TTT for ya. kaley

yea, the ones hes found are already welded but some of the guys over on z06vette are running them and said they really liked them. So I told him if hes got a good deal to go for it. Im curious to see how it works out.

Which one's did he get?
The one piece or two-piece design.

I was told by BPP that the two-piece design is somewhat prone to exhaust leaks. So I stayed away from them. They are a great idea but, if you wind up with leaks then they are only a headache no matter what the gains.

They are a good header.

Stepped from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 I believe.

I would have considered them if not for the expensive price.

I believe its the welded single piece set up because when he read me the part number, it was like "1040 Welded" or something like that.
