I just recently bought a 350z from a private dealer. He said he had a custom made cat back exhaust that was made in LA. However, the more and more I look at the exhaust I feel that it is not much different looking from stock. The sound is pretty good. It's a little louder and lower than stock. My question is, can anyone confirm that it is an aftermarket exhaust system? If possible, can anyone tell me more about it? When I look under the rear the muffler section in the middle is a light gray color if that helps
Here are the pics of it. I'll take more detailed pics when I get a chance. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm from Hawaii and that's where I bought it from. I agree with all of you that it looks stock, but everyone agrees that it is a little louder and lower than stock. When I look closely at the tips of the exhaust, it doesn't look as slanted as the stock tips...not too sure
I'll try to get pics of the piping later when I get a chance.

That car looks like it was originally in Hawaii. Check the safety check sticker with the #2. Otherwise, the exhaust looks stock.

My car just arrived and I took a few pictures of the exhaust system. I don't know how helpful the pics are going to be but I tried my best without jacking up the car. So if anyone can tell me more about my exhaust system that would be great. I also noticed that some parts of the exhaust like a part of the muffler and parts of the welding is a little rusted. What can I do about this?








This is not a stock exhaust. The stock set up has stamped flanges, not cut flanges, also, the stock muffler is painted black, and all the piping is galvanized/aluminized mild steel. Your piping appears to be stainless.
