Hi, I've come across a good deal on a set of fully jacketed basset headers. I know nothing of them. Just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience... They were on a 38 Fountain with 572's running 106mph. Don't think the guy is a b.s.er. I've done a search on these and can't find anything about them...
Thanks

I did. The ones I'm after are more of a long tube header... But I'm looking for some first hand experience. Are they junk? Do they crack after 2 years? Are they the best thing since sliced bread?

If they are long tube headers ....Are you sure they aren't just water injected...Just looked at their website and i see they do make a tri y full jacketed.The only Bassets i'm familier with are the old water injected long tubes ...which are not for below deck ....Do you have a picture of the ones you are looking at

These are fully jacketed. Believe me I know what I'm looking at. And they take almost two people two carry one header with the tail pipe attached. They look almost identical to a Stellings green but they are basset.

so are they a tri-y then?, Basset only made water jacketed headers in a tri-y that I have ever seen, Smitty

I've owned a bunch of cmi stuff and these really put them to shame. The tubes are 2 1/8" they come with air actuated mufflers. I think I might pull the trigger on them if I can make them fit in my boat...

I got a set with a project12 years ago . I think they were made in the 80's mine had issues so I sold them on EBay for $100.00 they looked nice but had internal cracking. unless they are dirt cheap I would pass.
