Yes, those appear to be the stock exhausts. Look at the writing near the triangle shaped symbol and you should find factory markings.

Looks quite a lot like mine that I had out of the car last week while doing a water pump replacement. So I'd say they're original.

Your headers are rustier than mine but less rusty than my Jeep Wrangler that gets driven in harsh winter conditions. I'd just guess maybe the car (being a 4s) was driven in the snow. The bolts that hold the muffler clamp for the silencer or whatever the heck that thing is that sits up in the wheel well look to be in need of some attention (top middle of photo 2 shows two nuts that look to be growing rust).

Lots of short runs I presume. Not enough time for the moisture to evaporate out of the pipes.

My Audi doesn't even heat the coolant up to temperature in the winter most of the time and the exhaust looks way better because it's stainless steel. I guess Porsche doesn't believe in stainless steel exhausts. That's on a 2011? Geez...

The headers are steel, while the mufflers, etc. are SS.
