Downpipe, is this stock or aftermarket?

My 09 SS came with a Hahn Catback, and with my recent QuickJack purchase was looking around underneath.
Originally, I thought this was a stock downpipe and I've ordered a Hahn downpipe.

After looking at this one, I don't notice a reduced restrictive section so I questioned if this was aftermarket.
It's not a Hahn or a ZZP, so I'm still assuming it's the stock 2.0L downpipe.
But not knowing the 2.0L parts... I wasn't sure.

Is this stock downpipe?

It doesn't look like factory one. Might be wrong though. I replaced mine long time ago.

With the high number that passed through your shop... Thanks, to all that "piped" in, appreciate the input!

From my navity, the 2.2 & 2.4 have a narrowed section. The 2.0 appears straight with a different looking flex mesh.

Two canisters... both catalytic?
Exhaust CatBack has resonator & muffler.

That's stock. Here's a pic from another thread.

Mine's removed, on the garage floor. I'll get a pic of it next time I'm over there. Tomorrow or the next day. It has black on the bottom half of the flange also. I never heard it either.

Looked more like a fluid stain from something, visually flang connection looked solid and no noise til exhaust tip. I paid more attention to the flex mesh than coupler flange... but all sounded sealed & tight.

That link was a great Post & Interesting read!
