Tuned headers; for that last tenth of a horsepower.

Extra long tubes because a T bucket is so heavy it needs a lot of bottom end torque!

Set that baby up at about 15.5:1 AF ratio and enjoy all those pipes in cherry red! Would be impressive on a summer night at the cruise in.

What are your plans for the weekend? “I’m going to see if I can figure out how to remove my headers”.

It's hard to be sure but I believe they're 180 degree equal length headers. Which are ideal to warm your hands and dry wet gloves during those Christmas time cruises to the toboggan hills.

There's more than one way to cheat that pesky 105 dB rule at the track.

180º headers would have some of the opposite side tubes connecting to the other side. Those are all on one side.

I agree with that! (maybe a little taller)

It's tough to be sure but I'd make a small wager that some of those tubes are crossing in front of the engine.
