Default What cat back system do i have. pics

I'm trying to figure out what set up this is. After looking at various set ups it looks like a b&b route 66. Listening to clips on the web is sounds like it as well. Problem is I don't see any stampings or part numbers on it at all.

Does Billy boat put part number stamps or anything on there products. Very familiar with b&b but just never had an acutaul exhaust product from them.

Its not a B&B prt exhaust.t The prt exhaust Is a lot louder This one has a mellow sound. I identified by the tips and the construction underneath, along with the exhaust note.

Looks very similar. Like I said, it was a guess. Was just trying to help with the pic provided.

This is the PRT looks very similar

It might not be the PRT but it is an early Billy Boat exhaust. They are the only company that uses that style of tips on other exhausts too aside from the C5 exhausts.

The tips were the first clue to me. They are the only ones that have the large square ovalish looking tips. What baffles me is the lack of part numbers or a brand stamp. Is that how the earlier models came? I like the exhaust but I'm thinking about putting another cat back set up on. When I do I would like to sell this one and want to be sure of what I'm selling.

They look like Billy Boat route 66 to me.

I have a set of them.

From what I have seen, some have a name tag and other don't. Mine has a tag that is visible through the slots in the rear fascia. Just a small (Maybe under 1" tag).

The cans on the PRT are much shorter than in your picture.

Yeah I just wanted some sort of confirmation. I looked and looked for a tag. So I'm guessing some of the earlier runs came with sort of product identification. Good to know Thanks for your help

Looks just like the B&B Route 66 catback that I had on my '00. If it is slightly louder than stock, that's what it is.
