Sometimes you are stuck with what you can get. I'm 90% sure those are fenderwell headers. It is what it is.
I would spend some serious time researching headers. There is a TON of crap out there (step headers being one of them) that is being foisted on the public. If you google headers by ed you can go to his site and read and learn. There are other sites as well.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

The main issue on headers is if you are buying a shelf
header it isnt for your engine in most cases... every
header that I tested that was a shelf header, the
primaries are the wrong length.. they arent equal length
and the collector is too small in diameter and length...
if you want more power you would be better off getting
the headers made for your engine

If I were at home I could run your engine through
my header program to tell you what you need... but
I wont be home for a while... I think a few of the
other guys have the same program

Probably the best header but a lot different price level:

Wow nice header there! They make them for small and big blocks. I would have really cried if those were the headers I crushed in the wheelie.
LOL, yes the novelty and coolness of big wheelstands wears off quickly after damaging a few pans and headers! Don't ask me how I know.

IMO this Hedman is the best off the shelf header for the B/RB A Body's. I've had the Hookers. They are known for cracking at the flange as mine did.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-75161/overview/year/1968/make/dodge/model/dart
Have you ran the 2 inch tube TTI headers? Just wonder how they would compare to the headmans? I am building a big block 73 duster and am wondering if it would be worth the money to switch to the headmans. Also I still have my inner fenders so how is spark plug access on your headers?? Thanks mopar65
I have not run the TTi's and have never seen a listing for the primary tube length's
The Hedman's have IIRC 37"-38" primary length and the Hookers are around 43". For an off the shelf fenderwell exit header the Hedman's are hard to beat. Plug access is decent by reaching from the front of the engine, no access directly from the top.
It's up to you if you want to  your fenderwells
