Default Aftermarket exhaust and lowered - what was done?

This may be a silly question but... I bought a 1996 cab from a dealer last summer and it had an aftermarket exhaust and had been lowered. The dealer (no surprise) had no idea what specifically had been done. Is there any way to identify or specific ways to find out? Someone told me he thought the exhaust was a Fabspeed but is it stamped somewhere specifically on the system? Bilsteins are green? These arent.

Thanks

If your car came with a Fabspeed exhaust, you should be able to blow the doors off just about any car on the road. It adds at least 100 HP.

Baron,

He didn't indicate that he also had the Fabspeed airbox so we shouldn't presume the 110hp yet.

It is only 110 if you also have the airbox. without the airbox it is only 100.
