Random Photo Request - 2.3L Engine Block

[Bangolia]

Long story short, Im buying a slightly used Bronco Big Bend 2023 2.3L but the original owner modified the exhaust. Im now wondering if they used a kit, or cut it off and patched it on at the engine block. Where the exhaust exits the engine, it looks like a nest of flashing and metal (does not look OEM IMO). Im hoping someone with a similar stock build could snap a picture of this area so I can compare mine to stock.

Why not ask the seller? It's likely stock from the head to the exit of the downpipe.

I’m guess you’re talking about after the turbocharger? Like the catalytic converter? Because the turbo mounts directly to the cylinder head.

Post a pic of what you’re talking about and I bet there will be plenty of folks to help

Yes, that would be correct. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of it and won't be back to it until next week. But it was visible form the top down in the engine block to the left of the engine.
