Exclamation The infamous "Unknown Header"

OK guys, I have asked quite a few people what brand they thought this was and no one is for sure. Lots of guesses but thats about it. What do you think?

Ian and I went through his pics the other day and I have to agree with the Pacesetter, couldn't think of the name before. Welding looks too neat to be home made and I have a similiar set in the shop.

These are older and rusted, so its hard to tell what color they were originally.


Edit: It seems that it is a pacesetter, although someone must have cut the end off and added that hooker header style flange onto it. Well, now I know...

Thanks all.
