I don't know that anyone will be able to, but I thought I'd try. I'd love to know what headers are on my car. I have two pictures, one around the collector (there isn't much) and one of the primaries.
Figured I'd ask.

Need to see the collector flange to tell for sure but from what I can see they look like Hall headers.

I'll get a shot of that as well. Would Hall = good, bad or indifferent?
Frankly, Hall would make sense since the motor had a Hall street rebuild at some point.

Hall 'big bore'.
Only bad points are;
1. That 2" collector size is too small for the 4 into 1 design, apparently worth at least 25HP restriction in comparison to swapping out for a 2.5" collector and subsequent tubing to the muffler.
2. The individual headers tubes are apparently prone to warping. When you remove them they can spring and are difficult to remount (although I've not had any problems with mine). The recommended cure is to have a reinforcing web welded in to join them akin to the more modern alternatives.

Thanks. I've got to replace a gasket, now I'm scared...
All of it seems so small. All the little imports I've messed with have bigger pipes from the factory.
Probably just deal with it and whenever I need to do something for tailpipes, I'll replace it all.
