Default What catback is this?

Just got this 02 ls1 and it has an aftermarket catback but no markings on it. Im debating on whether or not to cut my magnaflow off my LT1 before i sell it and just switch it up. It has a alright sound to it but since i dont know the brand all ive read is that magnaflow flows better with LS1's.. Sorry the pics arent the best.





Being that the ls1 has a manual cutout i guess i always have that for sound, but it just seems like the magnaflow catback on the LT1 has a better sound at cruising speeds.

My car came just like that, it was a flowmaster 80 with the stock piping crushed, with the crushed tips it gives a little bit more of tone. I went with my sig mods (Magnaflow).

its either a flowmaster or a similar design knockoff off ebay, or possibly an IMCO muffler. just a louvered can. magnaflow is much nicer
