Default Help Identify These Headers?

Hey guys, Got a pretty good deal on a set of headers and x pipe from ebay the other day from a known corvette recycler.

Says, in the item description 6600ex which should be KOOKS headers...
but I cant find a pic of these anywhere, perhaps they're an older model of Kooks? they look to be ceramic coated, and relatively new...

any help here would be appreciated.
Dad has a 98 C5 automatic base car with "Pypes" exhaust (came with the car when we bought it)

these headers say its for the 01-04 c5, but we will be removing the AIR system to get them to work... what do you think?

Hmmm, if I'm not mistaken the 6600ex headers are for the 2005 & up Vettes...

Then, the part number on the auction is definitely wrong... cause I have an 05 and there's no AIR pump on that pig, in these pics you can see the air system fittings...

anyone know what these might be?

so confused!

That is a funky welded AIR box on those. Never seen a square one before....
