Default Difference in LS7 & LS2 Manifold & Midpipe?

Is there a way to tell a difference by just looking at an LS7 exhaust manifold and midpipe compared to a stock LS2? My 06 C6 feels like it has a tune but is also a little louder than stock but has stock exhaust so trying to figure out why. Air intake, Intake manifold, and headers are all stock but haven't had a chance to get look at exhaust manifold and midpipes yet. I know this is a popular swap for a 25-30 rwhp gain with a tune so trying to figure out if it has it done already. Feels just as fast as my 08 I had

The LS2 has cast manifolds while the LS7 are like a pressed steel more like a header looking. The mid sections are 2.5" on the LS2 and 3" on the LS7.

That is definitive.
