Default what catback do I have ?

Was on car when I got it,owner before me had car 4 years and was on it when he got it . I can not see any markings on it, it is not stainless, muffler was black, now has slight rust. does have 2 round stainless tips.Sounds good ,just thinking it might be restrictive. Any guesses?

It looks like a hooker aerochamber to me, especially hearing it was a black muffler

judging by the picture i would say it appears that muffler seems to be a little shorter than mine

i know on the bottom of mine it has Aerochamber stamped right into it as well

maybe its not a catback at all? My z28 had the same tips and and a clearly aftermarket sound, so when i bought it, i assumed it had a catback. Upon closer inspection, it was a stock exhaust with an aftermarket muffler, and tips that i later found at autozone

I think its home made. See where the installer flared the tail pipes to fit the muffler.

I had a raven on my first formula,it was black and unmarked. Did not come as a cat back either. Sounded decent though.

Can you post up a sound clip?
I think it might be a Spintech muffler because it has a square shape.

A flowmaster will have "flowmaster" stamped on one side of it.
