Header identification question

Hello! Looking at picking up a set of headers for my 986.2, the seller claims they're Fabspeed but i'm not seeing any stamping/branding, they do look pretty well made though. Does anyone know what kind these are? Thanks in advance

the chinese knock-off headers are fabspeed copies so will look similar. a quick trip to the fabspeed website shows that the fabspeed headers have a serial # engraved into the flange which i don't see on yours so methinks chinese ebay stuff.

Update: I contacted Fabspeed and they were able to confirm these are an older set of 987 headers from them!
