Does anyone have any experience with these?

https://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsType/BRB_Headers.html

Any thoughts or comments?
I have a 62 B body with 383 moderate street motor. I'm not going drag racing or anything like that. I just want the exhaust to fit without any leaks or rattles.
I need to pull the motor to fix a few issues (including the exhaust) and came across this website.
I read that they somehow interfere with a z-bar but can' see how from looking at the pictures. I have 4 spd. and it works fine and prefer not to go hydraulic.

Is your engine on the original K-member? If so I don't see any downside.

They're great headers and allow you to access the starter without removing the header, at least with a mini starter. However, I'm not sure they're still selling anything. All the headers are listed as out of stock. I have a set on the 400 in my '71 and love them.
 
I have a set on my 68 GTS, 383 car, now 451 stroker with 6 pack. No down side except they are showing their age. Beginning to look a little cruddy.

Best of luck finding a set. I don't think they have been available for about a year now off the site. There's rumors on the company's future but all hearsay to me.
Anyway, mods for Z-bar I've seen for the A bodies (on abodiesonly), the driver side collector is extended moving the flange further out a couple inches.
 
I have a set on my Challenger, they are great for fitment, unfortunately they have gone out of business.
 
I have had a set on my 65 Fury for over 25 years. Never an exhaust leak and they fit great. They are a little restrictive for High Horse-Power applications, nothing drastic. I noticed a slight difference on my tunnel ram 440 but still have then on the car. It would be a shame if they did stop making them.
 
They announced sometime last year that they were closing up. They are north of me and I went to the shop to get my headers (which he had made elsewhere). Either way, unless someone else starts making them I think they are done. The fit is great and I do believe you get some low end torque out of them.

That stinks. I was planning to see if they could fit my motorhome.
 
I don't think the owner was in good health (was a bit crazy as well). He ran the business out of his house and I think had one employee. He was nice enough but slightly chaotic. I do like the headers though and I was looking at his Hemi conversion motor mounts and that is when I discovered he was shutting down.
 
A young member should buy him out and continue the mission. We will have to support him/her! Those tri -wyes would look good just hanging on the wall!

I was wondering what it would take to do exactly that. Also wondering what kind of sqft it would take to hold it all.
 
When I bought my set from him, way back when, he told me that TTI was making them for him. This was maybe, 25 years ago.
 
Unfortunate if they are no longer available - they look a lot nicer than shorty headers.
I have never came across them before and was wondering about quality - fitment.
Thanks for replies

Didn't they start out as CPPA headers, or was that a different bunch? I vaguely remember adds in the Mopar Collectors Guide I used to get 30 plus years ago.
 
No idea who makes/made them but I can say they are very good quality, thick flanges and nice tubing. His main claim was that you would never blow out a gasket because he recommended you use high temp RTV which I did and thus far no leaks. As to the sq ft question, I don't think it would take much unless you wanted to stock it all. I believe he dropped shipped from the guys making the parts to the larger distributors and his own sales were done on a lead time (he probably kept some of the smaller stuff in stock, but I know he didnt keep the headers, when I ordered mine probably 3 or 4 years ago there was a 8 week lead time).
 
I know who makes them for Schumacher. It’s a local Seattle area header manufacturer. He also makes shorty headers for Layson’s.

I would be interested in discussing the possibility of continuing production with them and with the Schumacher family. Any info would be appreciated. Not trying to step on anyone's toes or violate any possible patents, just would like to see a quality USA made product stay in the market for us.
 
5 years ago I got lucky and found a used set of tri - ys on C list. They were the bare steel / painted ones,
I picked them up the same day. I really like them, most trouble free set of headers I have ever owned.
So even though they are not being built now keep a eye open at swap meets , flea bay , C list ect
