Question What Exhaust do I have??

I bought my 02 Z28 M6 used and the previous owner modified it some already. I looked under the car and gauging by looks it's a Corsa exhaust.

It looks like this:

It sound real nice and all but I like knowing I have a good system. Now just because my exhaust looks like that...does that mean it is??? I imagine the manufacturers make them look different for identification.

Also if it is a Corsa... should I keep it??

Thanks.

YES! the corsa is one of the better catback systems. the only one that ***some*** people consider better (in terms of sound quality) is the GMMG chambered exhaust. but the gains (hp/tq) are prolly about the same. also why waste $700 more (yeah yeah Omega9, i know you can get the damn thing for $650 group purchase..) when you alrdy have a really nice system

That's great but still how can I be sure??? is appearance alone enough??? The tips look the same, the muffler as well as the hanging hardware and rubber mounts??

Thanks for post

the muffle box has "C O R S A" stamped on it for one thing. and as to make sure you have an after-market catback and not just the muffle box with the stock peices on it still the after-market l shaped pipes coming out of the muffler should be a solid 3" or 2 1/2" where as the stock ones are like a 5" long peice of 3" pipe coming directly out of the muffler welded to a smaller peice of 2 1/2" (diameter) or some crap like that and who buys after-market tips and muffler and doesnt get the L shaped peicey thingies that completes the catback? sorry if i used improper terminology. described it best i could.
