2011 SS headers identification



Are these stock headers? Got this car in September and just now getting around to learning about it. Sorry it's not a great pic was in a hurry this morning.

The pic doesn't seem to be showing up I'll post it again later tonight if it's not showing for y'all.

Can't see pic. There's no such thing as stock headers on a 2011 SS.

He used the wrong term, don't burn the new guy at the stake.

Stock exhaust it's called a manifold, aftermarket they are called headers.

Alright. How do I tell the difference if they're long or shorts?

Looks like a cheap set of headers from the looks of those welds. The car has most likely been tuned as well.

Nope, not stock. They appear to be long tube headers and not high quality at that by the look of the welds. As bad as the welds look they look like I welded them...lol. If you don't have a check engine light on then your car has been tuned to some extent.

Thank y'all for the quick responses. Guess I'm going to be getting some new headers then what do y'all recommend? The louder the exhaust the better imo.

After taking a closer look I was able to find the branding and all to identify the specific set of headers (guess I should've done that to begin with but silly me). And these are actually a set of stainless works headers that go for over $1k on phastek. Should I consider getting new headers or are these good?

I have the Stainless Works headers, and the welds DO NOT look like that. It looks like someone welded them again. Maybe they were worried about a leak or developed a leak.
