Default Help identifying axle back system

I recently had this system removed from my C5 and replaced with a titanium Z06 because I like the sound closer to stock. Problem is, I would like to sell it, but I have no idea what brand it is and I don't want to misrepresent it. The muffler straps once had some sort of sticker on them but are long since gone. There are no other markings of any kind. Any exhaust experts that could ID this?

Looks like an older Corsa catback.

Very well could be XS power. I found this older pic of the Corsa and looks very similar.

Thanks for the info. What do you think a fair asking price would be, seeing that it's hard to tell what it is?

They're not Corsa, because the tips would be stamped with their logo. Probably a knockoff, like XS, or maybe GHL. Worth about 350 IMO if you clean it up.

The early model corsa's didn't have a stamp on the tips.
