I recently bought a 2020 mustang gt from someone on the marketplace but he had put cross long tube headers and a cross extreme catback. He never tuned the car and I am wondering before I buy a tune what intake I should pair with it.

I've never heard of the brand. I would recheck that.
I'm surprised if the car isn't registering trouble codes with long tubes and no tune. Even cat back systems are sometimes enough to cause problems.
Did you have the car checked by a dealer or capable shop to see if it still had the original and untouched Ford computer program before you bought it? They would be able to tell you almost instantly.
I would be wondering if the previous owner didn't just tell you that it was never tuned because he didn't want you to know that the warranty is voided in such a case. Any aftermarket tune means an instant void of the 5 year powertrain warranty.
A CAI is completely unnecessary with only exhaust mods as it will gain you nothing. You would need at least an intake manifold, cams, or heads upgrade to make a CAI do anything at all for power.

If you ask them to do an overall inspection of the car then a hookup to their diagnostic should come as part of the fee. An honest dealer or shop should charge you no more than an hour of labor for such a service.
If it turns out that the car has or had an aftermarket tune on it then dealer can tell if the original Ford program was ever changed. If so, the seller owes you the handheld tuner that he kept and/or compensation for the outright lie and voiding of the warranty. It seems to me that would have constituted defrauding you and I believe that you should be able to legally pursue civil damages if he refuses.
2018+ Mustangs had the Active Exhaust option. Does it have it? If it does, then you'll have the option in the menus and you'll be able to see the plates in the exhaust tips.
