hard to tell from that angle, but the presilencer looks just like a rotary enginering presilencer that i have.
header, maybe an old pacesetter?? dont they have the strait pipes like that?

well, at the risk of sounding n00b, it looks like the flange that bolts to the engine is identical to my RB (except yours doesnt SAY "RB" on it), and the flange for the front pipe also looks like my RB, not to mention the y joint on the front pipe loks like my RB...
that doesnt look like a tuned header though, unless you shot it right on the vertical plane...
but i'd still say RB... if not, its a homebrew built from an RB template (like a guy in my city is doing as we speak - he took measurments and my old exaust gasket..)

See, its pace setterm, trust me. The weird hanger coming off of one of those pipes is on the pacesetters. I am not saying they have no problems, I am saying they don't yield good power because they are unequal length pipe. So unless you modify it to equal length, I would recommend buying a different brand header though. They really need to stop making those, or completely redesign them to make power simialer to the racing beat.

my pacesetter looks nothing like that!
btw. ive also never had a prob with my pacesetter, altho they have a bad rap i think most of it is due to improper installation, warping or just bad batches

What exactly constutes improper installation? Warping? Or bad batches? The second two tell me its a less then great quality company. I think the design of unequal length is a bad design from the start for a engine design that is very sensitive to tuning also. The company making these orginally wanted to get a product out faster then thinking about what makes the best power results for the application, and never changed them because it would hurt their profit margin. Ofcourse I am biased because I own one, and seen racing beat headers that seem to generate more power with out modifiying them.

Also, Paradox, if your header doesn't look anything like the one in that pic, its not a pacesetter then. What does yours look like exactly? That one looks exactly like mine, untill they cut it and wielded a glasspak to it.
