Default Header question

Is there any way to tell what long tube headers are on my car? There is no stamp/Id tag or anything that I can see to identify them from the top or bottom. I don't know the previous owner but if it helps at all, who ever owned the car before spent some money because everything aftermarket is the top of the line. It's about impossible to take pictures of the engine bay but here are some. Any help would be great

Are you familar with those? I can't even tell what size they are, I guess I could measure them. If they are in fact tpis headers, are they any good?

They do look like either TPIS or FLP (the design is almost identical). You really need a shot from below to tell for sure, up top doesn't give anything definitive.

Check out this how-to and compare it to your exhaust. If they're the same you have the FLP system.
