Man, those look real rough! Looks like someone put Corsa Tips on the stockers to me. I have Corsa Touring system for 5 plus years now,,,they shine all the way back to the headers.
Keep looking!

Stock mufflers have 2 smaller diameter pipes exiting the muffler case. That is the Corsa style outlet,,full 2 1/2" out of the body.
As stated the Touring has little "reversion slots" at the inlet and the pace cars do not!

Thanks for the info. I already knew they were dirty and figured it would get mentioned. I just got done sanding, painting, sanding and buffing the doors and sills. Once I get the rest of the body panels painted and reinstalled, the calipers painted, new brakes installed, new wheels and tires installed...I may think about polishing the mufflers...after I get to take a ride in it.
BTW, it has a Bassani X pipe also. Is that a good thing?

The Bassani X-pipe is a nice addition - doesn't really give you a bump in power, but does smooth out the exhaust flow (better than the stock H-pipe) and will give you a better exhaust note.

All the non-Tigershark systems (both Pace car and Touring) have exhaust tips more separated out in this manner (similar to stock spacing):
As to the OPs question, I agree with the others here in that the only way to know by just looking would be to look inside the inlet pipe.

I definitely have a space in between like the second pic. Looks wide enough to put another pair of tips.
Again I appreaciate the info. I really don't want to know bad enough to pull the exhaust apart though.
BTW, that crud at the weep hole isn't rust. It's just brown residue that wiped off with my finger. According to the vehicle history, the last owner, that wrecked it, put 20 thou on in 2 years. Before that the other 50K miles were spread over 10 years. So it looked like more of a weekend/summer car which is what it will be again when I get it done. It's dirty underneath but no rust anywhere. Kinda a blessing they wrecked it before it got trashed any more.

If you have the Tigershark tips Dale, I think Corsa spaces the tips close together like this:
