Help identifying fabspeed exhaust

I'm looking at a used fabspeed exhaust, but the seller is unable to confirm the version. The seller does mention 200 cell has cats. Here are pics from the ad. Can anyone help id the system? Is it even a fabspeed?
Thanks in advance.

Gen 1 can prototype maybe? It should say tt/gt2 on the can. Those flex pipes are seriously throwing me for a loop, I'm not expert but I had a gen 1 and it looked very similar minus the strange flex pipes. If the pice is right go for it, those cats look like they have the gen 2 v band which will make it modular with current components.
Hope that helps
Shawn

I found where you saw that exhaust, I'd message the seller selling the cleaner gen 1 and offer a price around 700-750. The other generation 1 listed has been on there for quite some time.

Thanks, I have the same observations and I hadn't seen one with flex sections. Thanks for the input! I'll look for the other one too.

I hear you, but I'm on the hunt for a gen 1 and there aren't that many right now. It doesn't look too bad and will probably polish up well.

What's so significant about a gen 1?

Most power at the expense of more sound. Both things appeal to me.

Shawn,

I am very impressed, thank you for jumping in! I too was thrown for a loop and had to ask one of the veterans here as this system pre-dates me. I found out that you're dead on, the cans should be labeled with SOMETHING such as our name or tt/gt2 as you said.

I'm thinking this may have actually been a custom system that we either did one off in our shop or that a customer made after purchasing components from us.The cats look like ours there is no denying that but I have never seen flex bellows like that.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with!

Thanks again Shawn!

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up going with a cleaner gen 1 that was clearly labelled GT2 TWIN TURBO and what look to be 100 cell cats. I am excited to feel and hear the difference. I understand that this generation drones, but I have also read about owners who have used various techniques to reduce it. If I can't get it to the way I like it, it may end up in the classifieds here.

Glad to hear you picked one up! I'm excited to hear your reaction, I think you're really going to like it!

Let me know if there is anything else you need!

That's been on my watch list for a long time waiting to see if it dropped to a point I might consider a second exhaust smh, mind sharing what they let it go for? There is some driving around the reverberations but it's easy and sounds pretty nice in neighborhoods in 3rd gear doing 25. Have fun!!
