Recognize this exhaust?

Hey guys new to the forum so be nice , names Chris. Just picked up a 2008 G37S AT that came with an aftermarket exhaust. When I get a chance I'll do a full write introducing myself and car. In the meantime I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what exhaust system came with the car. There wasn't any brand names or logos on anything. I think it may be a custom job. Let me know what you guys think:

Here's a quick pic of the car:

P.S. Don't mind the filth I have yet to get under there and clean it up.

Oh yeah came with what I think is a real carbon fiber real valance too

Why are you disappointed if you're happy with it? Plenty of guys run that axle back on the forums.

They should be the same or very similar setup, nothing wrong w/ them for the price invested, nice deep tone and an improvement over the stock pipes in appearance & tone. My Top Speed sedan pipes have held up well for over 3 years and still look like new when I actually get down & clean them

Not disappointed, just though I was lucky and it was some sort of crazy custom exhaust system. But yes I am very happy with the way it sounds for now.




Anyone have any recommendations for cleaning the rust and grime off it? Saw a variety products on the market and wanted to see what you guys normally do. I was planing on using some sort of de-grease agent and different gauge steel wool pads. I'm open to suggestions and comments.

Kinda looks like you may have a differential bushing that has failed as well. The drips over the diff cover are indicative of that. Could be a bunch of other things too but you might want to check it out next time your under there.

Wow yeah I just saw that after you mentioned it. Thanks for the catch I absolutely will take it to get looked at. Good thing I got a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty !
