<x-flowed>OMG! I hadn't thought to open them up... I worked the sheetmetal apart and discovered that they are BOTH are cast fin.One's casting is much shorter than the other and almost totally blocked by casting flash.I assumed,(wrongly),that what I was told was true.And peering inside seemed to confirm this. Seemed like the end of a spiral structure. Hurrumph!And Russ is correct,tailpieces are in evidence. Well,just goes to show that I sure as hell don't know anything about HE's!
My apologies,all. (especially Jason)
(damn)

These look like someone welded new tail inserts on them. Some of the inserts were restrictive, some werent. Looks like you have one of each... yea, with a big engine that sure would be like a bannana in the tailpipe! :)
Still, the spiral fins are intriguing... you need one of those cameras they use to do rectal exams. Still... better pic's than I would have taken!
That is what I was going to say, that one looks like one of the repair pieces. Some of those are made from off the shelf hollow, cold rolled, bar stock. If the ID is 1 3/8th", I bet it is. That is why I machine my own.
