I bought my Titan at a dealership and it already had a Nismo CAI and exhaust (and possibly headers).

Is there a way to identify the brand of the exhaust and headers (if they are aftermarket?)

Mufflers usually have the brand somewhere on them and the headers im not sure about. I doubt theyll say anything, what do you mean by possibly headers?

Most mufflers have some sort of branding... Headers, I'd look to see if they're shiny or non-stock looking

Probably a good idea to take pictures so we can help you out!

Muffler looks stock to me. Maybe its the CAI that makes it sound like it has an aftermarket exhaust. What do you guys think?

What's the best way to take a pic of the headers? Maybe I'm mistaken about the headers too...which is fine. I didn't buy this truck because it had mods. I bought it because its awesome.

That's not what my stocker looked like. But mines an 04...

Try under the truck, at a 45* angle up towards the headers

So from the back and angle it toward the headers?

Idk, just get under there and try to get the best view you can get. If the muffler's stock, I'd put my money on the headers being stock too... Post a revving video?

Yeah...that will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm sure the wife would hand me a pillow and blanket if I started revving with the kid already in bed

To me it looks aftermarket cause at least on my 07 the muffler was welded on. I dont see nissan selling trucks with the muffler clamped on like yours but idk
