Help. Trying to figure out what exhaust is on my car.

Hi, I recently just bought my car like 2 weeks ago and iv'e been struggling on what type of exhaust system i have or it could be just that muffler is changed and not the whole system.
All i know for now for sure is that the muffler is a pretty big and has a burnt TI end. It sounds pretty aggresive as well. I have two options that i came down to to what it could be.
-It could be the Universal HKS TI HI-Power muffler.
-Or it could be the TURBO XS Turbo back system.
My Muffler has no aftermarket signature on it and both of the two exhaust above that i listed meet the requirements.

I am wanting to change my exhaust sytem, but if it is a turbo xs then i prabably won't change it for a blitz nur spec.

Need help thx


Pics of the pipe.

it doesnt look like the HKS TI High Power i see those all the time, it more looks like a Greddy TIC, can u see the piping that leads to the muffler, can u get a pic of that?

if it look like it is less than 3" it is a turbo XS CBE or TBE, and the HKS CBE is also a 3" CBE

The axleback portion is the TurboXS RFL-Ti.

The signature exhaust hanger "braces" kind of gave it away for me.

Decent exhaust, but IIRC it is a 2.5" system.

Must sound pretty raunchy unless you have cats!

ye, it does sound a lil raunchy. I dont think it has cats cause i think i can here it backfire sumtimes. this exhaust sounds pretty mean and when i looked up sound clips on youtube for turboxs turbo back, it sounded just like it. should i upload a sound clip or sumthin because im stilll stumbled on wat it is.

keep it or get blitz


** also wat ur saying is that the axlebak is turboxs and the rest if a different brand? Like a custom exhaust system.?

Hah. What I was saying, is that I know for sure the axleback is is the RFL-Ti, but I dunno for sure what is before that.

It's usually a turboback system by TurboXS though.

I just wanted to tell you what I know for sure.
