How to tell Arrow headers from stock?

[WarriorPoet1314]

Anyone have tips on identifying whether my new (to me) ST has the Arrow headers or not? They do look slightly different from what I've seen in photos of stock STs, but not certain.

Thanks!!

It should be fairly obvious, if you compare the diameter of the section between where the twin headers join & the silencer: -

The arrow have springs holding them to the head, and at the joints................ The stock do not !

The simplest answers are often the best. The Arrow also doesn't have the little heat shield.

There is that, but it's not as obvious at a glance as the springs or the heat shield.
