Mick, they were from SS (formerly of Sebastian, FL). I'd personally go 2.5" bore the next time, as the 3" is quite loud and (I believe) too much flow for the Victor Jr. SB heads and factory SPF headers that are on the car presently. But above 3,000rpm they sound terrific. You will also notice there isn't much of a transition from the inner weld to the outer "wrap" or shell...that creates a really annoying rattle/cracking sound (inversion) when easing off the gas. Very noticable (and annoying) as you approach a stoplight.
I thought it would be cool to show people just how large a 3" I.D. pipe was by rolling a baseball through one. Made for a great pic.
