Does this ZL1 motor look normal?
I saw a used ZL1 on autotrader with very very low miles and noticed something blue on the engine pic. Can someone tell me if this looks normal?

Insulating plug wire sleeves.

All I see is the blue plug wire boots, which are not really needed with the stock exhaust manifolds. I suspect the previous owner put them on to dress up the engine compartment a bit

Looks like headers, spark plug wires and blue "cool socks" on the wires

I just looked at this on Autotrader as well. It also has a Soler TC in one of the interior photos.

Headers, plug wires, plug sleeves (blue), probably a tune. Check underneath to see if the cats have been replaced or removed. May have aftermarket exhaust work done. Possibly a TB since it has a Soler TC as they often go together.

These low mileage modified cars scare me. I would steer clear - Have service check to see if GM has blocked the warranty

Odd that with these assumed mods it has the stock air box, maybe it has a drop-in filter, hmm...

OP: Car has headers so likely tuned and therefore no powertrain warranty coverage. IMO, avoid it unless they're offering a substantial discount.
