Looking down on top of the exhaust tips - all four will have Corsa embossed about a half inch from the end of the tips. Hope this will help.

Not always, just depends on when the tips were stamped. I live near Corsa so I've already asked about the tips..............

It also depends on what type of tips they are. I have classic tips on my Corsa's and they don't have any "Corsa" stamping.

Those are Corsa mufflers with classic tips. I can't tell you whether they are "touring" or "pace car" mufflers.

Kind of hard to tell from the size of the picture. The do look like Corsa, but I can't tell for sure. The mufflers are missing the pipes that go over the rear though.

If you look inside were the exhaust enters, there will be plates covering an oval hole if they are Touring. If there is no plate they are the Pace car.
