what brand header is this?
Anybody recognize this header design?
If so, do you know if a standard THDP (designed for stock headers), will clear them?? Thanks.

Those almost look like ATRs, but not quite, the crossover especially looks kinda strange. Almost look like Kenne bells old headers (which were close to ATRs) And if they are ATRs, a standard THDP will not fit without a few dents. Even my ATR DP was very very close and i had to put a few dents in it.

Look like ATRs to me also. The crossover looks funny because most people weld them. The ones pictured look like they were coated with the band clamp in place. My ATRs would not work with a standard THDP.

Hmmmm???? agreements that they're ATR design, but no agreement on whether a THDP will fit.

I have ATR headers on both my cars and those look close but not exact...as someone stated the crossover doesn't look the same...also the pass side header is quite different than the ones I have...it was also stated that they may be the old Kenne Bell headers which may be true...as for THDP I know the standard one won't fit without modifications but they do make one specifically for the ATR headers...I'll try to attach a pic of the ATR headers from their website...take a look at the pass side header...

I can't imagine the picture I posted being KB headers. I've never seen anything that nicely designed come from Kenne Bell. But I could be wrong.

Those look like the set of headers that Nick Micale is going to be or are now selling. Nick had a set sent in for the Nats and they were at RJC's booth. If I remember right, the mild steel were $695 and the stainless were $995.

I was told that ATR and Terry Houston downpipes work well with these headers.

Header I.D.
They look like first design Terry Houston headers. The wide Y at the collector and also if it has very tight flanges would also indicate this. Just a thought,why upgrade headers and use a stock down pipe.

These are Kenne Bell Headers. My brother and I run these headers, I have them on my 87 GN, he has them on his 88 Z/28. I ordered every downpipe known to man to fit an ATR header for a 87 GN and NONE of them fit. THEN I learned that they were Kenne Bell headers. The crossover clamp hit the bottom, the A/C box heat shield rubbed the top of every downpipe and I finally had to fab one up to work. While Alan's engine was on the engine stand, we tired bolting varius downpipes that were suppose to fit ATR headers, but also didnt work. I could only get 1 bolt to fit from the flange to the turbo housing because the downpipe was hitting the crossover pipe on hin headers too. So FAST FORWARD MOTORSPORTS in Arkansas custom made a 3 1/2 inch dp for my car. It is AWESOME! No doubt that they are awesome headers, but downpipe clearances will be an issue.
