New (to me) 2019 Stinger GT2 with some (undetermined) upgrades

[MisterGT2]

Hi all. I just bought a 2019 GT2 AWD w/35k miles. Great car, and louder exhaust note than i hear on YouTube “stock startup exhaust” videos. It has an injen intake so I can hear the turbo breathe when I stomp it, but I’m not yet sure what might’ve been done to the exhaust. I‘ll probably take it to my old shop and ask them to put it on the rack, but what should I look for?

Just look under the car and see what the muffler says. Probably would have some name on it.

Welcome to the hive!

Apparently my car came with Borla exhaust
I'd like to see if there's a different downpipe, but that's gonna be hard to do without a lift.

Thanks Daniel. Before this I had a 2009 Volvo C30 R-design. It was a great car but I wanted something with more room and fun to drive. I almost got a bigger and newer Volvo until I came across an ad for a stinger.
By the way, I ended up having an exhaust shop add resonators to the borla. I considered just adding aftermarket tips but I wanted to reduce the noise outside the car as well as in the cabin. It still sounds great, and makes plenty of noise when I push it. I’m still considering adding aftermarket tips just for fun.

you may be able to see from the passengers side of the engine bay with a light. some looking room on that side

you can pull a spark plug and see if its HKS or denso. most that pull a piggy back off for trade in leave the plugs in. tell you if it had one or not

The guy that did the exhaust work said the down pipes are stock
