Default Help me find out what exhaust and susp. is on this '05 CTS-V ?
I am looking at buying this car. Take a look at the following pics. If you can, please tell me what kind of exhaust and shocks are on it ?

I DIDN'T TAKE THE BLURRY PICS, the used car lot dealer did.

Catback reminds me most of the B&B or Borla.

Further googling makes it seem like the B&B with a resonator over the Xpipe.

FG2 and B&B 'touring' exhaust. Does it also have the headers? If so, that is the most expensive exhaust setup for the car.

I am guessing that the IV rear has more ribs on the casing? I am going to have em put it on the to c if i can get a part # off it. Carfax didnt say anything about replacing it either.

Lastly, he airbag light is on, and sensors are around $100 each (if thats even the issue).

Carfax looked good.

There is a recall on the passenger seat airbag. That should take care of the light.
