Default Tail Pipe Question

I've noticed that some cars have two and others have four, attached is a photo of mine, is that stock or after market? If it is after market, is there a way of knowing what is on the car?

Hard to tell for sure, but to me it looks like factory with tips added. (they look a little uneven) How does it sound to you, and is there any interior drone?

That is aftermarket for sure. Look on the tips and see if they have any engraving. You can check the muffler, but it might be a combo of different mufflers and tips. Here is what the stock tips look like:


With the exhaust lean:


Fixed

Jhonathon, you need to remove that Silver "Howard" sticker from your rear bumper.

That was the first thing I did!! The last pic shows it. I also had to take that extra c5 decal off the back. I don't know why it was there.

Yep, those are not stock tips.

Jhonathan, looks much better. I was going to mention the extra C5 decal, but thought one thing at a time was enough. lol

Yep....those are B&B w/ quad oval tips. They make the PRT or route 66 in that tip style......the PRT has a small chamber and are louder than the rt. 66. The rt 66 have a conventional looking muffler.
