My 90 5S-FE has round spark plug boots and water bypass looks the same also. So it could be an early model 5S-FE.
below is a pic of my 90 5S-FE

Yeah that would make sense, Toyota=Japan, simple mistake for the uninformed. I couldn't tell you about older Celicas, I have a 6th gen 5SFE.

It's a header, probably Arospeed from the looks of it.

shiny blue headers, diifrent but nice mhat brand are they and how much did they cost?

It is a genie header and here is a new pic with the new ceramic coating on it,

The header cost just under $400 usd after shipping and the ceramic coating cost $125 before shipping.
