Is this stock or custom exhaust?

I had a look underneath the vehicle and it appears they've put an aftermarket exhaust system on it.. Does it sound good, bad or just plain mean?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm considering putting on a titanium exhaust system on her. Yeah, I know it's overkill, but you only live once right?![Icon Trophy](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_trophy.gif)
Thanks.

Sounds louder than stock, but also sounds like it has a hole in it in any case, so it may just be a worn out stock exhaust. But it's definitely drawing in some extraneous air from somewhere, which is where that sucking sound is coming from on engine decel.
And I admire the desire for badassery with the Ti exhaust, but it is a pain in the butt to work with. I fabricated a custom Ti header and exhaust for our Formula SAE car in college, and it's a pain and a half to work with. So much internal stress to relieve, the second it gets hot it wants to move all over the place and pop every weld you made. Stainless is so much easier (and cheaper) to work with and is only about 15% heavier. Is maybe 10 lbs of weight savings over a nice custom stainless exhaust really worth probably quadruple the cost?
