Tip looks like Ganador but the construction is very different.

Given the fact it is an oval muffler without jasma certification means it is more than likely a knockoff or a one off.

You got me stumped, and I know my exhausts!

It does look a lot like an all-stainless Ganador. But, I think all their exhausts have their "GD" logo embossed on the tip.

It's NOT a Greddy SP, that's for sure - I've owned all 3 generations of that exhaust .

A buddy of mine has a very similar exhaust that sounds good and fits well. May be the same thing, but we've never identified it.

As far as Ebay cheapie exhausts, they're pretty much all N1-style can exhausts. It's also not one of the American made exhausts that were around in the late '90s, like ATR, TurboTuf, PFS, etc.

Hopefully someone out there will recognize it! I've found there are quite a few mystery exhausts out there. It's most likely Japanese, there are a TON of different Japanese exhausts and we only really know of the most common ones.

My car came with this exact exhaust, but I was never able to tell what it was. It was really strange that the tip is so big but is less loud than my rb dual tip. Wanted to sell it but had no idea what to call it lol.

I have the exact same dual tip you sold recently, that looks like an RB dual but no RB logo and the tip looks a little different, have you ever find out what it is?

That's probably the one that was referenced earlier in the thread, I had one that I sold. No idea who made it, though.

I heard something that RX7.com made an exhaust, that very well could be it (the one for the original poster with the large single tip).

Funny thing is someone at some point paid good money for that exhaust new, so it seems someone would know what it is!

Apexi almost always labels their exhaust with a tag at the bottom or something.

Yeah, if it's polished up and looking good, $300 shipped is fair. Shipping on a full cat-back like that is usually $80-90 or so.

kinda looks like a Tanabe medalion touring with a bigger tip. I'd be interested to see pics and vid of it when you get it on the car. I've been looking for something more tame to replace my HKS hi-power with.
