What Muffler/Exhaust is this?

Can anybody tell me based on the pic what muffler/exhaust this is?

Also, any ideas on where I can just get a new one since this one is starting to rust and look like poop!

The rest of the exhaust is still in good shape so I don't really want to buy a whole new cat-back or something when all I really want/need is a good looking muffler. Perhaps someone knows of a way to just polish this one up and make it look nice again. Thanks for your input!

You could definitely polish the muffer with any metal polish or even some compound. Looks like the tip may be beyond that. You could paint the tip or even the whole muffler a high temp black for a nice stealthy look.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure it would look as good without the JDM rear though.

Flat black with stock or jdm or semi flat black with jdm alone either way looks great and hides the fart can look real well...

If u decide to polish it I would recommend using flitz. This stuff is some bad stuff. It will take that rust off np. Or mothers is good as well, however from my experience it seems to leave the metal more cloudy looking thand flitz once finished.

Yeah based on some of the other products that were on the car when I got it I was thinking the same thing. The style looks like an Agency but it's definitely not as nice.

yeah it may not necessarily be a bad thing if the rest of the exhaust is 3" mandrel inner diameter. How does it sound?

Yeah I'm pretty sure the rest is 3" all the way through and I love the sound. It's a nice, deep tone. That's why I was just looking for a replacement muffler. I could care less what the rest of it looks as long as it still works good.
