Default Can anyone identify these headers?

These were on my car when I bought it but the previous owner didn't know what brand they are so I was hoping someone on this forum could identify them?

When you look up in the collector, do you see a 4-way tapered splitter? If so, they could be LG Pros. They have the long primaries, which were only used by LG, and Dynatech, I think. The Dynatechs don't have the "merge" collector, IIRC.

They are on the car now so it's to late for that, I will look for a splitter next time I take them off but hopefully that's not in the near future.

Not possible to identify them without looking inside?

Not for me. As long as they're stainless, and have no dents, it really doesn't matter that much. They look OK from your pics. I wouldn't worry about the brand too much, although retailers will probably sing a different tune.

Yea, we're putting down 550 rwhp with SC, heads and cats so they are doing a good job but I would really like to know the name of what I got

They are the LGs, the DYNATECHs have a four bolt connector on the end that mates up with the x-pipe.

Thanks for all the help, LG just answered my mail:

"These are one of our first 70 sets of headers that we ever made.
They are the early 1 3/4 pro long tubes. Each set was made one at a time."

Woho, I'm running Pro Long Tubes and didn't even know it

I've always heard the early ones were made by Borla.

That's exactly what I have. But I don't really look that close anymore. I've always liked them. LG is pretty good people to work with, too.
