Looks like a stock manifold and no mufflers or possibly bullet mufflers. The rear exhaust pipes looks like it comes straight back over the rear cradle whereas stock would go to the outer side and into a muffler that would hang just in front of the rear facia.

Thanks!! I'll tell ya though, it's LOUD. It sounds like two Harleys revving when I start the car. And while driving as long as my foot is on the gas it growls away and only lets up on the noise when I'm coasting or braking or at a stop and still then it's loud. It's an attention getter for sure. I would almost say it sounds like a race car when it gets started. Previous owner must have been an attention hog. LOL

Hi Kevin,

Congrats on the purchase. I replaced all four o2 sensors at 80K on my '97 for around $200 in parts. I went with the Bosch o2 sensors. There are two on the headers just above the exhaust connection, and two on the exhaust pipe around the center of the car. You don't have to drop your exhaust in order to get the o2 sensors out.
