Default Identifying headers

Basically I bought my car used and the guy had no idea about what had been done to it. I noticed it already had long tubes but Im not sure which brand. They have the 2 bolt flange where the long tubes end and connect to the y pipe. Is a 2 bolt flange in that location common or does it help narrow down which company made these?? Any help is appreciated

an easy thing for you to do is to go to sites like texas speed and ws6store and look at the headers for sale to see which ones mot likely are yours.

While I am no expert, they look like stainless, and from the merge geometry and location of the passenger side O2 bung, they resemble American Racing headers that I looked at on Ebay. They should have a plate on one of the tubes that identifies them.

Thanks for the replies. I've tried looking online for similar looking headers but haven't found an exact match yet. And I haven't found a tag yet but I have been looking. I haven't gotten a good look under the car yet while it's on a lift either though so that could help too.
