Looking to buy a set of Mickey Thompson Scavenger headers.
For a 1969 L-78 Chevelle that is going day 2.
TIA.

What do these look like Rick? I have a set of ancient headers that were on my '70 L34 Chevelle when I bought it....

They are rather unique.The tubing is rather uniform,compared to others,and they all meet in an 18 inch Square collector.
I remember pulling a set of these off in Shop class,and they were painted either orange or white Originally.
Any Condition acceptable.Appreciate any Help you can offer.

These are my all time favorite exhaust header.Mickey Thompson 'scavenger' headers were originally painted 'orange'. They came out in mid 1968 and were sold through 1971. The 'collector box' was roughly 14" to 18" inches long with the 4 pipes cut staggered for an equal length in the 'collector box'. They had a sound that was unreal when the car had a wild camshaft.Most of the magazines in the April-May 1968 ran tests with a lot of ad's from M/T. Originals are almost impossible to find.I have an 'nos' set for a Pontiac. I will try and get a picture in the next couple of days.
