Default noob question

well i dont have any work done with my exhaust yet, but the other day at the strip, a fellow mustang
driver challeged me to a friendly race, and said "it will be even, all i have is exhaust and i see
you do too"

at first i just passed it off as a mistake on his part.....but then i got to thinking.....i bought my car used
and what if the previous owner had a catback installed? How would i be able to tell?

thanks for the help.....as many of you probably know, i have no experience with exhaust setups
and therefor have a lot of questions

The stock ones say Ford on it. Others have their name on them.

If there is no name and the muffler is kinda square.....it's a Flowmaster.
