Default What kind of exhaust is this?

Hi all, I'm curious what type of exaust pipes I have? I didn't add them on so they either came stock or the guy that had cammy before me put them on. There is a picture of her here:

the type of exhaust is "duals" either 1 into 2 or true duals, as far as name brand, don't have to be any name brand, any muffler shop can bend exhaust piping, mufflers is another story, normally a brand of some sort.

You can't tell by just lookin at the tips. You got to get under the car and look at it.

Snapped some pics today, I didn't see any brands written on the tank so I dunno i guess someone just modified a stock exhaust system? She does sound really good and gives off a very loud purr that people always comment on. I also found a small hole in one of my exhaust pipes... Is this bad!? Heres the pics I got:

Your muffler looks like an aftermarket welded end type, not a factory rolled edge style muffler.
The hole is from whoever cobbled the hanger bracket together. It was welded to the tube, but was left bare metal. It rusted away at the weld first, and the weight of the pipe is pulling it open. It can be smacked back in place and welded back up, I've dealt with much worse. After that, wire brush the exhaust and spray it with a heat resistant paint.

Then go buy yourself a fair of welding gloves, some rebar tie wire, a pair of lineman's pliers. Put those in your trunk or glove box and enjoy your driving experience.
