does kind of look like it might be a RB single tip prototype or something... could just be 10 years worth of dirty too.

If it's Racing Beat, it's the older version; keep it.

If it is an RB, it must be a very old version. I have the previous version to the current one and it does not look like that.

That does not look like Racing Beat. It looks like a custom exhaust.

Notice the shape of the muffler and the location of the hangers.

The mediocre welds makes it sway more towards the idea of it being custom.

Looks like the RSR exmag, which is basically a copy of the racing beat single tip.
Nice exhaust if it is.

The RSR is identical to the RB, so that's not an RSR either.

This plus the black spray paint used to paint the weld is very typical of custom muffler shops to prevent rusting but that didn't stop it since there is rust forming on the top of the weld on the exit pipe.

back in the day RSR used to make the RB systems, it wasn't until the early 2000's that RB started making their own in house, which are the polished ones

there are several different versions of the RSR cans too, the OP's looks like an early one

There's only one way to find out. Maybe the canister has some stamp on it or something.

I'm 99% sure it's an HKS exhaust, VERY old system. That's HKS's tip design they used in the early/mid '90s.

Definitely NOT a Racing Beat exhaust.
