I have a set of small block A-body W2/W5 headers. These are 1 7/8" and are full under chassis. No tubes go out through the inner fender. They use adapter plates. I cant find any manufacturers markings on them anywhere. Just curious if anyone recognizes who makes these? Thanks...

Those look like some homebuilts to me. Some of the bends look like they were done by the muffler shop around the corner.

One day I will have something cool here.

Untrue! I have a buddy that had the exact same headers on his W2 headed Duster back around 1991. He said that he believes they are made by Hooker and says that his did not have any markings either. I know what you are saying though. Not all of the bends are mandrel.

I really doubt they are Hookers... looking at the
one bend it IS a press bend... you can see the normal
15% reduction in the bend... it could have been replaced
with that bend to fix something... but I did own a
set of Super Comps for my W-2 and they didnt look like that
EDIT
Also those tubes have a lot of slip joints that arent
required so I have a big idea someone did some changes
to a set of headers and the person used press bends
and slip joints for the correction/repair

Is there a chance that they are THE headers he was running? Man, I agree they look homespun..

The construction reminds me of the BB a body tubular auto headers I purchased years back. Weymouth Mass..

No these headers came off of a W5 headed Dart out of Illinois.

Yes, these have adapter plates that attach them to the heads like the ones you had. I think that they are a manufactured header, but just old is why they don't have the mandrel bends. I wouldn't see some homemade headers having all the slip joints like these do. Just my opinion.
