Default Help identifying headers

Hi, I bought a c5 with a bunch of mods from a seller (dealer) on ebay and although he listed the modifications was not able to identify the headers. I haven't found any identifiable plates/markings. They are 1 7/8 (which don't narrow it down much!).

I've attached some pics in the long shot a forum member member chime in. Thank you all.

The car has a full custom 3 inch all titanium catless exhaust with no mufflers but 2 small resonators. Needless to say it is LOUD. I'm looking to add cats and some sort of mufflers. First wanted to identify the headers should I decide to replace the entire exhaust post header (i.e. will help me identify which catted x-pipes would fit best).

Could be anything, but the collectors and clamps look a lot like my TPS headers. Be that as it may, they look like they are well made and fit well.

What's going on with the loose bolt between cylinder 6 & 4?

Not much help with identifying your headers. Sorry.

Header flange is slotted, most likely an optical illusion.

Correct and yes I'm starting to think that's what they are. Look well built at least.

Well these are LG super pro headers, looks like you certainly have some sort of long tube header, not sure if the same..
