Default Please help me identify this catback?

This was on my car when I bought it, pretty loud with headers and no cats so I replaced with TIs I had. Anyone know who makes this? Nothing on them to identify them, all stainless and sound good, just a little loud for me. Trying to figure out what to ask for them if I decide to move them, thanks in advance for any help.

I'm kinda leaning towards these being NXTs, not GHLs. The GHLs were fully polished and these are not. Check this post. I think you'll be able to discern the difference.

They ARE very similar. And neither the NXTs or GHLs used any markings on them.

Thanks for the input! After some cleaning, these could be either one as they are polished underneath the dirt. They don't drone, so that makes me think they are GHL as the other post described. They are a little louder than the TIs I replaced them with so I will likely sell them here. Trying to figure out what they are worth.

I have never heard of the nxt's but after doing a little research I stand by them being ghl's... looking at the nxt the tips are welded to the pipes whereas the ghl tips are slip fit and also the exhaust hanger on the nxt is welded to the side of the pipe towards the rear of the car and the ghl hanger is welded more towards the top and backside so it isn't as noticeable when installed... and they do just look a bit dirty to me, I'm sure they will polish right up... there's a better pic of the nxt in this thread, https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-cat-back.html
