Default BB PRT axleback knockoff exhaust?

I have a 2001 base that I bought a few months ago and have been trying to figure out what axleback I have currently. It looks identical to the billy boat PRT only it doesn't have the emblem on it I see in the pictures. I haven't seen any others (Chinese or otherwise) that look like it though.

Any ideas what it could be?

Pictures of the exhaust would surely help.

It does look a lot like the BBE PRTs.
I haven't seen any "look alikes" yet, but possibly some are out there.
I have (and really like) the PRTs. My recollection of mine is the BBE label is tack welded on so it's not going to just fall off and I would think there would have been some sign if the emblem had been removed by a torch.
Hopefully someone will have more info.

Hey there dhorner77. That does indeed look like our PRT Exhaust # FCOR-0205. Tags were welded on all product starting approximately 2005, so it is possible that that didn't get a tag at the time. Hope you're enjoying the exhaust!

I have that same muffler system and mine doesn't have that label either. I'm pretty sure there haven't been any knockoffs made.

I would say that they are PRTs. Mine were installed in 2000. No emblem.

Thanks for the response! I really like the sound of it, especially with the longtubes I just added.
