Was doing a few bits to the car today and whilst it was jacked up decided to take some pics of the exhaust.

Any ideas what it is as it came on the car? No badges or name tags anywhere on it and ive checked the majority of it when it was up on the ramps last time.





Cheers

Maybe the early type Wortec. I've never seen one I should add.

Your tail pipes look like wortec but the rear box's look a lot smaller than the ones on mine, by smaller i mean not in length but depth from top to bottom.

Its an 07 car so that may rule out an early version? As they have very small rear silencers do they look like might be louder than some of the other systems?

I've got an early Wortec non-switchable and it looks identical to that, so my guess is...
You have an early Wortec system!

Woohoo finally found someone with the same!

Did they do a quiet and loud version do you know?

I'm not sure. I think you could get bigger (quieter) back boxes, but I've never bothered to enquire. Sounds all right to me as it is!

I guess you could 'upgrade' to the later type if you really want.

If it is the much older Wortec system like I have on mine (looks similar) then there are no plates. Changing from loud to quiet involves unbolting and removing the straight-through pipes and replacing with back boxes to muffle the sound. Looks like yours are on loud

Its the Wortec one, set to 'loud'. The system came with two additional boxes, one for each side, which fit by removing the small section of pipe which has a 'knuckle' in it. Most have never been fitted and live in the shed!

Cheaply made with sleeve couplings. Not as good as the factory type flanges.
