New C5 owner with questions. So last night I bought a 1999 C5 from a small local car lot. They told it had the following mods:
ZO6 Wheels
ZO6 Fuel Rail
ZO6 Headers
ZO6 Brake Calipers
Blackwing Air filter
Short throw shifter
Borla exhaust (entire exhaust not just catback)
X-pipe
So how do I find out the brands or types of the equipment installed to verify what I was told?
ZO6 Wheels, Verified they are and are polished.
ZO6 Fuel Rail covers? The Fuel Rail covers are red and say corvette in black letters?
ZO6 Headers ?
ZO6 Brake Calipers? The Calipers are red and say Corvette?
Blackwing Air Filter I verified it.
Short throw shifter?
Borla exhaust, the tips are stamped Borla, can I some how verify the rest of the exhuast is borla?
X-pipe? I know what an x-pipe is do the manufactures stamp or label their products?
Thanks for any help,

Z06 Fuel Rail covers are red vs. black for the LS1 cars.
Z06 headers? Does the car have headers or just LS6 exhaust manifolds? Can you post a picture?
Z06 calipers are red.
The shifter, if aftermarket, should be stiff and likely to transmit more noise than a stock shifter.
Look at the mufflers. It should be easy to tell if they're aftermarket.
Stock C5s have an H pipe, so if it's got an x-pipe, it's aftermarket
Congrats on the new (to you) car.

The two on the right are Z manifolds the left is a C5
The calipers are the same only red
FRC's are red as said above
Rims, where are the valve stems located?
short throw shifter, just pop it off (key) and take a look
A pic would help.

Z06 does not come with headers (he must mean exaust manifolds)
