How do I know what exhaust system I have if I didn't install it?

Hey guys

I recently bought a used BRZ and I am loving it, but one of the first things I noticed during the test drive is that its loud and only has one tailpipe!

I am not sure if I want to change this, but in the meantime, how can I tell what is currently on my car? I don't have a shop to jack it up and take it apart
To me, it looks something like this:

but also looks and sounds like the GReddy RS catback single on the stickied exhaust threat.

Thanks!

You can get a jack and a pair of jackstands at walmart for $50-60. Bonus points: you can now do your own oil changes and other maintenance.

Perhaps one day, but for now it's pretty impractical... I live in an apartment complex I'll just take the cost of someone else doing the maintenance for now.
I just hoped there was a simple way to ID the exhaust!

Someone may be able to ID with a photo-- snap one and post up here!

May be a silly question, but if you get down to look at it from behind the car, are there any markings/stamping on the muffler tip itself or on the muffler canister with a brand?

Same deal here, I get you though. I bought my jack basically so I could swap wheels. Nobody cares as long as I'm not out there all day working on the car. Even then there's a couple people who do exactly that.

P.S. lugging sets of wheels up and down 3 floors sucks

No branding that I can see, it doesn't look too hi-tech. I posted a picture below...

Looks like it's just a track pipe. Loud because there is no muffler!
