    Mystery Headers

    I have a question about the headers I have on my Viper. Its an early RSI build (Geralds old car), but I am curious to know if they were actually built in house or by another manufacturer. The description when I bought the car was "1.75 RSI Headers, 5 into 1 racing merge collector". They are slip fit like a motorcycle and do not have a flange like the belangers, M&M, American racing, or Billy boat. The loops that you would hook a spring to to keep them together have been ground off, so the springs that hold them are no longer there. It doesnt look like they need them to keep them together though.

    Does anyone have pictures of the old TNT headers? Ill get pictures up as soon as I can.

    Look on the side of the header flange where it bolts up to the heads. Sometimes they are marked there by the maker.

    I'll have to check when I get home in a couple weeks. I thought I brought all my pictures to work but looks like I didnt. But I want to say there is not a badge there.

    So I finally got around to snapping some pictures of my mystery headers From the top veiw. I will try some time soon to get the collector in a picture. So any guesses?

    It's rain dropping on the headers, not any other fluid.

    Billy Boat Headers have a 5 to 1 collector on their headers that is a slip fit.

    So does HMS and TNT headers. Those do look like B&B headers though.

    I would lean to TNT or HMS. The tips from the 3" straight pipes were HMS as well. Getting closer to a definite answer. I wish some of the Houston RSI guys were still around to give definite answers to all the parts that are on this awesome car.
