Headers & mid pipes?

Hey guys! So I did an install this weekend on the ZL-1 of the aeroforce scan gauge with the wideband. This is the first time I’ve legitimately been under the car.. Didn’t realize this but apparently the guy I bought the car from had headers and an x-pipe installed… these are not factory right “sounds dumb but I want to be sure” Don’t mind the clamp on the mid pipes I was going to use that but decide against it. Any idea of the brand? Can’t find any marks on them…

An open hole in the exhaust right before the O2 sensor. That'll make the tune run amazing....ly bad.
Put a sensor in it and have it busted off in a day, see the scrapes right behind that area with nothing hanging down 3 inches.


Maybe someone threw that in to dyno tune it but I hope they had a plug in it after they took out their sensor or maybe it's just turned from the spot where the hole in the exhaust pipe is to seal it now. Seems shoddy to me.

Looks like a clamp-on wideband bung that's just hanging there.

To the OP,

No those are aftermarket long tubes not stock manifolds.

Any idea on brand?

I do think I may take them off and do a header wrap on them though.. I don't like that they are exposed like that plus it would keep some of the heat down too.

Header wrap? This isn't 1985. Ceramic coat them
