Hey guys,

So the car I've brought has a set of headers and a cannon on it, which is quite loud. I also want to know if the rest of the exhaust is stock?

ID: 2.38inch.

the stock muffler box has modified to suit the pipe made up for the cannon which I've put on to make it more.... legal and less attention grabbing :D

Cheers guys.

exhaust is custom

Definitely custom. That's pretty much a 60mm setup which is a common size for JDM pre-fab or custom setups.

yeah stock would have more heat shielding all over the place

Yeah I gathered as much, plus wouldn't see anywhere you would bolt shielding too!

So this brings my next question, would there be any problem if i stuck the stock muffler one? it has a flange welded to suit the piping or do you think there might be too much pressure.. or something..

if stock muffler fits, should be all good to go

sweet! I was worried about there might be too much pressure due to the increase in size and blow gaskets all the time?

Also the header has a down pipe to the cat, then after the cat I assume it's all aftermarket?

cheers guys!

Looks that way, but we'd need to see your cat to confirm.

This here is the best photo I have on me currently. you can sort of see the down pipe from the headers into the cat, hope that helps!

Looks OEM to me. Header OEM too? You can get some nice cheap headers for the D-series. If anything save you 5kg of weight haha. The OEM cast iron one is heavy as hell...

Nope! has a nice set of headers, 4-2-1s the pipe you can see before the cat is '2-1' pipe. so it has an aftermarket system on it with stock cat :D okay then!

That OEM cat will just be a real bottle-neck and ruin the setup. I'd get a high-flow one if I were you :)
