Default Identify this muffler setup

Anyone recognize this axle-back setup? Doesn't look like any stock muffler and over the axle pipe I have seen...Thanks in advance.

Interesting seeing the outlet pipes stacked vertical like that. Usually lower end catbacks look like this:

Agreed, the one shown is for sale in my area and I have no clue what it is or what it sounds like. I thought the bolt through flanges going into the mufflers looked like Borla but just not sure.

It's a full size muffler that is most likely packed. So it will have a mellow/deep tone.

My guess is it is just a cheap knock off of a Borla.

Borla normally is well marked and has heavier mounting brackets. Corsa also is better marked.

There are a number of cheap knock offs from China. Some work well some are just drone monsters.

I know some early Corsa products were not marked, it might be worth emailing them to see if they can shed any light.
