Default What headers do I have?

I picked up a set of long tubes that came from an LT1 FC RX-7, got em off v8rx7forum. The guy switched to LS1 so I asked him for his headers, and since he gave em to me for cheap I never really asked for additional pictures. Says they came off a 69 Camaro with a 350, were laying in his dad's basement for a long time and he used them cuz they fit the FC pretty well.

I'm just wondering if anybody has seen these before or if they are custom jobbers. I've never seen a goofy collector like that before.

They look custom. I haven't seen a header like that before.

They're called Tri-Y Headers. I've seen them in Summit.

These are definitely not tri-y headers, I know what those look like. These have 3 primaries merging into one and the last stray one coming in on the side.

Anybody know if these are worth running or if they are even considered a long tube? I don't have many options considering the limited clearance and I will already have to massage the firewall some to get these to fit.

they are technically midlength with down pipes welded onto them. go ahead and run them, you wont see enough of a gain switching to long tubes to validate buying them.
