I know it’s weird but I bought this car new to me, and the exhaust tips say Gibson, so I think it’s this catback exhaust.

I’m wondering if it has a mid muffler. Since I always hear about a mid muffler delete I’m thinking on what to do to the car but I don’t think I have one? Here are some pictures of my exhaust system


Can someone tell me if I have a mid muffler or not?

In looking at the photos of your car and the add for Gibsons, it does appear to me that’s what you have. Your mid muffler was removed and replaced with what appears to be a straight through design, that’s a pretty common mod around here. Looks like good quality.
Do you like the way it sounds?
Photos of the whole car would be nice to see too, post ‘em up!

I do but im looking for something louder tbh. I’ve saw some other 5.7 and they sounded way louder and supposedly didn’t have anything added to the engine.

i googled some mods to do and MMD was the best one but apparently I already have it so I guess this is as good as it’ll sound without doing a straight pipe or header work?

Welcome to Challengertalk ;) It looks like it could be that Gibson system. Do you have the split pipes before the tips, no resonators like in the picture?

Beyond straight pipes, or exhaust cutouts not much. Some cat back systems seem louder than others, so it's possible different mid mufflers would be louder. The Borla Atak are always considered loud. In mufflers Flowmaster Super 10 are their loudest, but none should be louder than straight pipe, although the tone will be better. Louder isn't all that if it sounds like

So basically nothing else to do in the exhaust side to make it louder?
1) Lose the mufflers. I don’t know how much louder that will actually make it tho because right now your cats are what is making it quiet

2) Lose the cats and keep the mufflers. This will both be the louder, and sound the best, of the two ^^^

2a) convert to ethanol and tune for it so you get more hp and enjoy both the sound and the smell : )

Never heard of Gibson but if you do thats a plus. Flowmaster has mufflers of different sound levels so maybe your is ones of the quieter ones Gibson makes. Having no resonators though.....i couldnt do that. Drone will be loud.
