Default Help identifying this exhaust

Buying a C5 today, but no mention of the aftermarket exhaust brand. No writing anywhere at all on the system itself.

Wow, big pictures is right. No idea from the pictures, need a broader view to start.
Is it just me, or does it look like the muffler is completely bypassed? Assuming the car is quite loud and raspy?

Yeah my apologies for that, I'll try to get some better pictures shortly. But it passed emissions and the car was actually kind of quiet, at least to me since I had a borla exhaust on my old one!

Muffler is to decrease noise level, it has nothing to do with emissions, unless you want to consider the packing absorbing some pollution.
Get a full picture of a muffler, and also underneath of the mid-pipe if you can. See if they changed out that also. Is it an H or X pipe?

The tips look like my Nxt Step's but many are similar. I'll have to look at the muffler welds to see.

Misunderstood what you said haha, but I'll have to check, it's still at the dealer and I'm going back up there soon.

here you go, don't have a clue myself... they do appear to be designed similar to corsa xtremes where the pipe doesn't flow completely through the muffler and the tips look almost exactly like my corsa xtreme tips, however that doesn't appear to be a corsa system

Those are Corsa Titaniums. Probably the rarest, most expensive, most sought after exhaust for the C5.

The Corsa Tis are not stamped. I have the Race version and love them.

Thank you for all the help! Turns out to be a pretty nice exhaust after all.

First time I've seen the Corsa Titaniums. Pretty good system you car will have.

Is that an open crack on the right side of the lower picture or just a shadow?
