Name this performance exaust!

hey all! Looking at purchasing this mini with an unknown performance exaust on it. I have another thread about the engine bay but those parts have been identified. My guess is the prior owner bought it used cause it looks to have a lot more use than the rest of the undercarriage would indicate if new. No idea who makes it... thanks in advance for the help!

The craftsmanship certainly looks like it. If I paid $700-$900 for an exhaust and the welds weren't stainless and looked like that I would be pissed.

Yup that is the made in China special. We've seen them many times as they always have that poor fit as you can see how they bent the center body support to try and give it clearance. I've seen this same exhaust with like 4 different names but it's been the same. Usually the bracket at the tips breaks and then the tips melt the bumper.

Save up and get a quality part.

Oh! sorry, that is not what you meant.
