Default Help identifing Cat-Back

I have what appears to be a stainless steel cat back exhaust. There are no marking on it that indicate the manufacturer. Can anyone help with identifying these. The cans are welded on the ends, there is no indent. Thanks for the help.

Gary

One thing I can say is the tips look like Corsa tips

Does Corsa stamp there name into the tips? There are no marking on these.

without any identifiable markings, it looks like a generic cat back system. Those tips are typical of many manufacturers. Corsa tips are stamped Corsa. Corsa exhaust systems are Stainless

My Corsa Tiger Sharks have the name "CORSA" in raised lettering on the top of each tip (but I don't have a close-up shot yet)...

Based on the welding beads and the overall appearance and quality, I think this was custom made. So either a previous owner screamed "Go custom!" Or this was sold in place of a known exhaust system, and is a knockoff. What's it sound like? Do you like the system?
