Looked like my stock exhaust from the cat. converter back. I replaced it last weekend with the RB exhaust:



Oh, and the reason the stock left muffler is missing from the photo is because it rusted off. It rotted just before the muffler/Y-pipe join and bent the hell out of the heat shield, scraping it against the tire and nearly munching my Dunlop Star Spec! Thankfully, I was in a parking lot and was able to get the old muffler off and bend the heat shield away from the tire. I drove for about two weeks with the left muffler missing. Sucker was LOUD!

Watch the alignment carefully, then. RB exhausts have a tendancy to hang lower on the left. Not sure if it will affect yours since you're going for the Apex'i mufflers.
