How old is this RB exhaust

I bought a used Full Racing Beat Exhaust and well... I was awaiting to see the "Racing Beat" on the side of the tips but its not there, instead there's an "RB" on top of the tips... is this just how the full exhaust comes or is mine just a bit older... any idea what year ? I can't really tell from the wear of the exhaust, it still looks fantastic... a few rust spots here and there but other than that I can't put my finger on it...

Are the muffler cans polished or just the tips?

Not sure how old those are but the new ones (the one I have) has polished cans and Racing Beat logos on the side of the tips.

That could be the older model.
I bought mine from Racing Beat about 3 years ago.
These are the black cans but have "Racing Beat" on the side polished tips. I gotta admit, these are made well. There are no signs of rust anywhere.

Uh, those are the newer ones.
The old ones said "Racing Beat", but the newer ones said "RB".
