Default Help me identify what brand my exhaust is!?

Well, here's what I know:

*It's not OE!
*The tips are closer to 3 3/8" than 3 1/2"
*There is no writing or imprint on the mufflers, tips...
*It appears to be 3 pieces. 1) Muffler and tips, 2) Pipe over the axle, 3) connector

Here's a few pics, I hope they help!

Thanks!!

Looks like Corsa, or maybe a knock off?

I contacted Corsa and they said "ALL" their exhausts come with CORSA on the tips...

The Tips look just like mine and they are Billy Boats. Maybe someone welded B&B tips on some other exhaust system or something like that

The system is only a year old installed last summer.

Knowing the previous owner, he would have never gone that route.


I might add, at idle it almost has a gurgle sound to it if that makes sense...

I must have listened to over 50 audio clips, that would be my guess based on sound alone.

I looked on their website and the plumbing is different than what I have.

BTW - Love it!!

Those tips are manufactured by Magnaflow, however that is not much of
a help because they contract them out to many exhaust manufacturers...

It is not a Corsa, Corsa makes their own tips...

The jump welded pipe makes it not a B&B...B&B are a true Y

I'm thinking it might be the Mid-America Branded unit
or
Stainless Works

Chip,

Looks like you nailed it! As near as I can tell the plumbing on the car matches perfectly with the Stainless Works picture.

Thanks!!!!
