Does the car have any performance mods, like headers, a custom tune, cam, etc? A stock vehicle does not need a double can, so there may be more mods. I ask only because a lot of people have bought modded
c6's only to find out they cannot be registered in their home state. Some states have strict regulations, some do not. Just fyi for you.

^^^That's some good advice/information. A double can screams forced induction to me, which might have been removed for resale.

Since it says “463 HP” on the engine cover, along with the catch cans, you can bet it’s modded. If you’re in California by any chance, don’t bother.

I concur with this sentiment, in this case CA emissions put a stranglehold on what you can implement.

But yeah, it be modded, we need more information on the car.

Alright, perhaps you can try to get additional information from the seller, if you happen to still be interested.
