Default Can you ID these headers???

I have these shorty header, was told they are for 93 camaro but I have my doubts. I would like to identify them before installation. I have held them close the the current stock exhaust manifolds and they look as though they would bolt up to the heads and accessories. They will require either a new Y pipe or new reducers in order to mate with my exhaust. Have searched google and cannot find anything that looks exactly like them. Anyone seen or have some of these?

That is what i initially thought as well.

It seems like the part that connects to the heads (i have heard this called the flange, but i am not sure that is the correct term) seems to be solid on the BBK pictures that i have found on the web. I then thought maybe they were SLP as they look similar and have the broken up "flange" between the individual ports. However the bends on the tubes seemed much different from the ones i found on the web.

I am really wondering if it is possible that these are not LT1 shorty headers for a camaro and the guy that i got them from was mistaken.

Those look like Mac headers to me, I have (had) those. I will have to look at them when I get home.

Thanks for the replies, i would have never found that myself. I am surprised that these would be mid tubes, they seem short so i associated that with shorties, not sure if that it good, bad or indifferent.

I can still only find one set online that looks exactly the same (minus the rust) on ebay.

Mac Headers Off Road Y for 95 97 Camaro LT1 Firebird | eBay

I am not sure why these are not listed as working on the 93 LT1, however i am confident that someone has already asked this somewhere, so the seach continues.

I did not get the Y pipe with these, so i will have to try to find one of those now. Is it better to buy a pipe or make one?

Just buy you one and run a 3" turndown before the rearend or straight back

And shorties from what i heat really ain't a big power gain, mids and longtune headers have all the power but i men they word could be wrong but i have longtubes on my Maro and its a noticeable gain

Since you have a '93 you can do alot better than that jammed up drivers side header for the dual cat setup. Do you need to pass emissions? Long tubes are generally the way to go unless your car is lowered. Some of the better mid-length headers (SLP or AS&M) put out hp numbers close to longtubes. MAC single cat headers are also good as they have a better designed drivers side header. These are MAC headers for a '93 f-body.

Don't need to pass emissions so that makes things easy. I got a these for next to nothing so i thought i would replace my stock exhaust manifolds as i think the drivers side is cracked. I would not mind having full length headers but for now these might do the trick.

When i got the car it had the cat deleted already (straight pipe welded in its place) and an aftermarket muffler also welded in place. I think the exhaust is 3" all the way back, fully welded.

If that is the case i think i will need to cut it in order to make a section that a Y pipe can be fabricated from. I need to find out what the best coupler would be for this kind of situation.
