Default Can you name this C5 Muffler?

I have been looking for some Corsa or TI mufflers. I ran across this but the owner did not know the brand. Can you name this muffler and if so what is your confidence that it is what you think?

How confident are you that it is really a Corsa? Are the internals the same on all the Corsa? (except for the extreme which has the bypass)

Any other opinions on this? Are there any knockoffs that look extremely similar?

I pulled up some pictures of the old corsa pace car with the "classic" tips and it does look the same.

looks the same as my Corsa's too. Mine have 2 wide oval tips though. I have had my mufflers in hand this past month and before I read the rest of the posts I thought "man those look so much like mine" FWIW. If you can get them for cheap, do it. They sound amazing at WOT and no drone on the highway. Truly incredible piece of acoustic engineering. Makes sense why they cost so much retail.

Look exactly like my (1999-2000 era) Corsa Pace Car edition with classic tips. There were two versions, Tour (mild) and Indy Pace Car (loud). Tough to tell which version they are, there are no external identification markings
