    What cat back exhaust it this?

    So I'm getting rid of a cat back which I think may be active Autowerk or replica ? It had no engravings on the tips. Anyone know if this is legit or replica? I have the brochure I'm my glove box that says AA bit always thought they active engraved the tips

    Looks just like my active, hard to say if it’s a rep just from the pics.

    My tips are engraved but maybe some of the first gen ones aren’t. Not sure though.

    Sorry, it was late and I thought I was being funny. I haven't actually seen one of those exhuasts out of a car before, reps or otherwise. The big hexagonal muffler is pretty distinctive.

    I have a AA Gen II that's still going strong since the PO made the original purchase in 1999. I used a $6 cutting & polishing kit from Harbor Freight to polish the muffler, looked nearly brand new before it went on my car.

    I bet this rep would clean up nice too with a little work.
