The exhaust tips seem to be missing. I recall the exhaust exiting the muffler is round and a vanity chrome tip bolted on to end. Round for AP1 and oval for AP2 to match their bumper cutouts.

Looking at the dual hanger mount on the rear muffler indicates this is an AP2 muffler. Round rather than oval Helmholtz resonator indicates it's 2004 or 2005 so it'll fit. Thanks to @Car Analogy for that bit of detail.

Not sure why this would have been on a CR, it's not the CR exhaust. The CR exhaust is different at internally and lacks the loop pipe..

But we're back to "It'll work." Won't get 100 points at Pebble Beach though.

OP said it was installed on a CR for a while, not a CR exhaust. Really isn't this difficult. It's an OEM exhaust without tips, tips can be added easily.

Quick word of caution for a stock AP1 exhaust on AP2. One you install the oem oval tips, they will stick out from bumper more than stock which will look a bit odd.

FYI, the Helmholtz resonator is the short stubby thing that juts out of the pipe sideways. Yours is round, indicating its '05 or earlier.

Ahh, ok. I thought it was that little muffler thingy up front. Thanks for the clarification.
