Default Is this Tubi exhaust?

Just bought an 07 from a RL'er in PHX area.

I was told that this is a Tubi exhaust.
True?
False?
I'm pretty clueless about Turbo exhaust systems.

It looks like factory headers and cats, but an aftermarket center muffler.

I'm hoping to find out if the cats are factory before taking it to smog check next week.

Photo's below, including a couple obligatory new guy pic's, more to follow with a proper intro.

Thanks.

Tubi exhausts have Tubi stamped on them...

Pretty sure the cats are tubi based on shape. They are stamped on the flanges where it connects to the headers.

Headers are OEM

I don't remember flex sections next to the muffler on mine but they have a few different versions

It doesn't look like my Tubi either, but that doesn't mean a ton

Definitely not a Tubi. They have a street single can and an earlier 2 can and it is none of those. Looks terrible...my guess is it's probably an AP or some junk like that. The stock system would perform better than that.

You may be correct.
I looked carefully yesterday and could find no branding.
whoever made this isn't proud f their work.

This is what the Tubi on 7TT looks like...I hope this helps...congrats on new car! (the workmanship, fit, finish and installation was flawless. I did the install many years ago)

Congrats again Craig!

Unless it drones or pokes under the rear bumper I'd leave it on for the time being. OEM exhausts are in the $500 and under range on Ebay.

I'd spend money on the next batch of DSC boxes that TPC makes.
