the exhaust setup is just a standard baja exhaust from Mick Motors.The tailpipe will be cut off and changed as the original position sucks.

I had the same exhaust on my baja. My advice is to throw away that muffler now, and put a 2" lukey or similar on there. That stock muffler is such
bad quality. Mine rotted out fairly quick, then a backfire literally blew it apart.
You can get good 2nd hand turbo and stock mufflers (from people upgrading) out of exhaust shop bins. Just ask if you can jump in their bin and have a
dig around. I've never had any say no to me.

oh, and that stock muffler is quite restrictive. You can get stock commodore style mufflers which are just as quiet but flow heaps better.
Here's a crap pic of my old exhaust

The high presssure pump is under the surge tank Craigy...the low pressure pump is under the master cylinder to feed the surge tank and help
recirculate the fuel through the tank..which apart from being very noisy it does very well. STILL waiting for the surge tank to be returned in a non leaking capacity....:cry

I use a facet as my LP recirculating pump. It works fine. I put a restriction in it's outlet hose to give it a little pressure to push against which
really quietens it down.
