.. Your stock exhaust is all mandrel bent. Replacing it with another mandrel bent exhaust system of the same size is a huge waste of money. Replace the factory muffler and call it a day. Unless you are upgrading to a 4"

Also the drop in air filter and replacing the mid pipe will yield noticeable gains with a tune.

I'm only replacing mine because I'm adding another muffler, cutout, and running it out the side before the rear tire

Yours is factory mine looks the same way. Unless you are going turbo or huge FI save money for more useful mods swap out the muffler if you want a little different sound.

That flat piece in your exhaust isn't going to hurt HP at all...... It still have the same Area as a round pipe, its just flattened to clear the Transmission crossmember
