Definitely aftermarket. That is not present in my ZLE.

I don't have any wires running across the bottom of mine, either. Follow it and see where it goes.

What does it connect to in the rear? Does it go into the trunk? If I had to take a wild guess, maybe someone is running power from the trunk into the car to power maybe lights or aftermarket accessories. Cut outs power? Did the car come with NPP stock?

I traced it back to the NPP plug area. It’s not connected to anything. Must of had a different exhaust on it before the current magnaflow. (Which the factory side of the NPP harness is still there. First time having the car on a lift since I bought it last week.

No holes in the exhaust. It did have a slight leak where the xpipe connected to the headers. Not anymore

Magnaflow x-pipe muffler almost in. Car has heads and cam with the LTs/no cats and some sort of magnaflow exhaust makes ear bleeding drone.

Hopefully this brings the crazy down a notch.
