Looks like a Pacesetter.

Normally, I wouldn't say anything after Joe chimed in but I don't think it's a Pacesetter. Thing is I don't know what it is if it isn't. :whatever:

Pulled up the Pacesetter pic.. That's not it.

I don't think it matches any of the one's in SupraFiend's header thread

I don't know what it is.

Weird... never seen one like it either... odd that the o2 sensor goes into the #4 runner... I wanna buy it but can't afford it...

Messaged guy asking what Co. Manufactured these headers, he's listed these b4, I also asked him specs on collector pipe, hopefully I'll get a response

Its either a tri-mill or a DT. Ive had my eye on it for a while but have been trying to decide if I want to buy it.

100% NOT either of those Chris. I've owned a Thorley and have 8 billion pictures here and I have 1 real and 1 production tri-mill 10ft from me.

I agree George.....I've seen these before, but they are a unique design....might be worth while for some one to buy this just to try.....

Brooklyn buddy,

If you get a response, let me know.
I'll be good at the end of the month to get one - 5 days from now is bad.

The design looks pretty good to this untrained eye. Runners look pretty close to equal length and the 02 bung doesn't seem half bad. Somebody please get one if you can so we can learn more about it.

Off only one cylinder? How can you get a proper reading?

Just got a message from guy on Ebay about headers, he said a company named Hondo made these headers 20 yrs ago and the collector pipe is 2.25, never heard of Hondo but then again 20 yrs ago, i was 2 so that doesn't say much, has anyone else heard of Hondo??

Actually, IIRC, when I lived in Vegas, I had a few friends with boats on Lake Mead and I think Hondo was the name of some custom marine headers. Don't know if they could be related.

I have actually read that the 5m was in the past used quite regularly in speed boat racing, maybe it is related.
