    Thinking about replacing my exhaust headers.......

    With all the issues I've had with different headers lately...I may try these. They look like they may scavenge at a higher RPM butt-eye bet they would at least fit better than the last two sets!

    I always heard those Goldberg's headers existed.  Never seen a pair until today!

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    They would look better chrome plated.

    Unfortunately that design comes with a tight crossover which creates a hot spot. The solution is that brass hand operated air pump seen hanging on the door. After the engine is warm, both driver and passenger have to continuously pump the hand pumps to keep that hot spot from melting. Version 2.0 of those headers came with dual electric blowers cobbled up from heater blowers sourced from 1953 DeSotos.

    He probably lives in a cold climate area and those are used to warm his upper torso.

    Now that is what I call a real "bundle of snakes" header system!
    The GT40's Bundle of Snakes has nothing on those.

    I would like to hear them.  

    My old 460 headers I had in my 70 fastback crossed over.
