Uhh...got any pics of the setup?
I'm trying to understand why you have 2 mufflers AND a y-pipe.
And you won't need a catback, sounds like you already got that. You'll need headers for a full exhaust system. But if you have a y-pipe and stock manifolds, the only headers that will fit that y-pipe are shorty headers. But if you really want good headers, go with longtubes. You'll need a new y-pipe, but its worth it.

So, from front to back, you have stock manifolds to a borla y-pipe, then the highflow cat, then the rusty I-pipe into 2 Edlebrock mufflers then out through some aftermarket tips? Am I getting this right?

You need to be a little more detailed, and use better punctuation dude.
What are you talking about "on the paper explain the mods"? Ar eyou saying that you're gettting this from a list of mod's written by whoever you bought it from, and you're not describing what is actually there? (Cause it sounds like someone has no clue what they're talking about.)

Glad I'm not the only one who is a bit confused.

Those are just the tips, not the muffler. They are just for looks.

hahahah thats them , he was saying they were mufflers, so do i have half a exhaust, thanks homie, i dont no how to post pics yet, u nailed it, the brown pipe goes from the cutout curves and goes to 2 of those tips

Yeah, those are definately not mufflers. Tips really have no affect on sound whatsoever.
So, to my next question, do you even have a muffler? You say the pipe goes from your cutout right to the tips? There is usually a muffler between those two things. And a muffler is generally bigger than any other component on the exhaust system, you can't miss it.

This is a muffler:
Its the rectangular-looking thing with the pipes coming out of it.

The pipes could still be stainless steel. There are different grades of stainless and the one most commonly used for exhaust pipes (409) will get surface rust on them but won't rust through. The reason 409 stainless is used is because it is easier to form without cracking and much easier to weld.

So, you have a borla Y, an unknown brand cutout, an unknown brand muffler, and Edlebrock dual/dual tips. (That is, IF the y-pipe is even a borla one.)
Well, your options here are endless as far as exhaust. You could leave it as is, or go the aftermarket route. Its up to you. Good luck.

Depends on what you do.
Sounds like the I-pipe you have is the facroty 2 1/2" piping. That cutout helps some. But you could get some longtube headers, that would make a difference. Then a new Y-pipe and a new catback. Then you'd really be screamin down the road.

Yeah, I'm thinkin you might be better off re-doing some of that stuff since you don't really know what half of it is anyways. Keep the cutout though, you might be happy with it. But its your car, go hog-wild with it. You'll appreciate it more too.
