Default What brand of header is this?

It isn't a CMI E-top or at least not one I have seen before. Any info will be helpful!!

I wonder if that's one of the big tube E-tops.

I think it might be, but it doesn't have the collar like e-tops typically have. Does anyone have height comparisons between the big e-tops and split tubes? Maybe a CMI dealer will chime in!!

Could it be Lightening Headers?

No, I'd highly doubt it. Lightning would have continued the tube over the elbow. Also, they would not be capable of welding that nice.

The motor and header pictured were installed in 1997 if that makes a differance. I am considering buying the boat less motor and headers and want to make sure some split tubes from CMI have a chance at fitting into the tight compartment. Thanks for your replies and keep em coming!!

Look at the tube layouts fred. See how they are reversed?

Could it be a Big E top modified for a Bravo? Pipe layout at the flange area looks very much like the Big E.

That kinda makes me apprehensive about this boat. Will I have to spend 10K just to get some decent headers shoehorned into the tight engine compartment?
