Stan and Doug Thorley are good friends and have been building headers about the same length of time but both have their own designs. Our 154Y headers have been modified over the years to fit several different models. Doug Thorley was not the original designer of the Tri-Y header and neither was Stan. Cyclone Headers was building Tri-Y designs before both of them. If you E-Mail Stan he will be glad to give you the whole story. Anyway I have put together a new header for Dana and shipped it to him today. Hopefully this will take care of his clutch linkage issue.

Bruce.. Guess I was totally wrong.. Oops....Thank you for setting me straight from what I have thought to have known about Stan's, Doug's and the original designer of the Tri-Y's. (Gotta love this board, I learn something new almost every day).
(I will confess I never have had my two sets sitting side by side for comparison but from laying under the trucks they do look almost the same with the exception of tube diameter).
Thanks again for setting me straight, being a stand up guy/business and taking care of Dana, When I am in the market for another new set of headers (especially Tri-Y's) you have my business.
