where are the collectors located underneath the car. also might help what brand of headers you have. JBA and Bassani are the only makers of midlengths that I know of.

they are long tubes im now trying to figure out the brand i dont see a name anywhere and they are a bit rusty so they must have just had a paint finish. i also didnt realize the x pipes may have to match brand wise . how can i tell the brand any dead give aways?

if they were black- then they were hookers. most header brands have a nameplate on a primary that you can see barely from the engine bay. as for brand specific mid pipes- I've not found this to be the case, most midpipes made for longtubes as long as the diameters match up are good to go.
