Default Funky *** headers on my car.

i dont have a pic right now but these are the weirdist headers ive ever seen. I was told they possibley came of a Impala SS or something. But anyways they kind of branch upwards and out then go down. Most im familar with go out a little then go straight down like a regular long tube. These go up then down anyone have any ideas here? I was told they are midlengths. But im just wondering if i should swap these out for some longtubes. I also have a horrible exhaust leak coming from the area and wondering if this could be the cause with them being the wrong type headers. I know a picture would really help but i dont have a camera on me right now.


Edit heres a cell phone picture

If you have the money, you will see some gains by switching to full length headers. You will see even more when you start modding, i.e. heads and cam.
