Can anyone tell me what kinda exhaust this is? I can’t find a stamp anywhere on it.Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Looks customs, dual cherry bombs or something.
I use the term " cherry bomb" loosely, I just mean a glass pack of some sort. Is you're car a turbo or n/t? I don't believe there is a factory resonator of any kind, just the cat and muffler IIRC.
I wouldn't worry about changing the exhaust now, n/t isn't going to respond really to an exhaust, so if it ain't broke don't fix it RN.
What are your future plans?

There is a factory resonator, here it is:You must be logged in to view this image or video.You must be logged in to view this image or video.

i never totally deleted the resonator. i ran the factory midpipe with the resonator until i got an aftermarket mid section. The resonator on the factory piping sounded way better than the one on the aftermarket pipe.
It had some added rasppiness with the aftermarket mid pipe
I wouldn't remove the flex pipe, replace it if needed, it'll help with vibrations and any engine movement. Without a flex section you might notice cracks or broken hangers sooner.
I'd just fix what you need to now, if you want a high flow cat you could do one, but I'd honestly wait till you do the 2.4 swap to sort the exhaust. Otherwise you'll end up doing things twice and spending unnecessary money, especially with planning a turbo in the future.
Having a resonator definitely helps kill the rasp and cabin drone, especially when n/t, plan on keeping or having one on your final rendition.
I wouldn't worry about the cat right now, as if you change to a 3" later, you'll either have to change cats or heavily modify what you buy now. Save money and do it later, the sound profile while change with everything you do to the setup: displacement, turbo add-on etc. So going for sound right now isn't going to help alot and the car doesn't need a high flow cat in it's current state, just a functional one if you're in an emissions compliant area.
