How to tell if I have after market headers
Hello,
I recently purchased a 2013 zl1 and was told it has aftermarket headers and exhaust. The exhaust is a borla atak system, but I dont know how to tell of the headers were replaced and if they are long or short tube. I am working on getting a custom tune and need to know. Any ideas on how I can tell. Based in the look underneath, I would say they are after market, but I don't know how to determine long ur short. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

If they’re long tube headers, you won’t see any flanges on the pipe and the pipes will not merge until under the car, short tube headers have a flange after a few inches of pipe where they connect to the cats. Post a pic if you want someone to tell you what they are

Stock headers will have a heat shield on them. Also if shorty headers, you will be able to see the midpipe connection from the engine bay. Long tube headers will be continuous under the car.

You have long tubes with either cats, resonators, or gutted cats.
