Help discuss what Mid-Pipe this is

Anyone know what type of mid pipe this is?

It doesn't exactly look like a midpipe. The front piece looks like it has a heat shield on it, making that a catalytic converter. I would like to see a higher res picture with a couple of different angles. Maybe one looking into the front to see if there is a honeycomb present.

No idea what you're trying to get at... but its a mid pipe and its dual resonated, I'm just trying to figure out what manufacture it is or if its a replica or knock off or what

I think what he was trying to get at was his opinion, you asked and he answered. A few more pictures would help, but either way it looks cheap and doesn't look like a mid pipe to me either.

Nope looks to have a catalyst on it. I think thats the magnaflow replacement cat for our cars.

^^ I would agree. I recently bought one, not installed yet, that looks just like it.
If there's no cat strata, it's probably been gutted.
Note the heat burned the galvanized coating on the resonator.

It is gutted cat so i was just calling it a mid-pipe. Will be interesting to hear how it sounds.

Should sound like a gutted cat lol, loud and raspy. BHR makes a great mid pipe if the rasp is too loud for you.

Coming from a guy who ask what type of mid pipe is this? Then had more than one person tell him it looks more like a cat. Then you respond with it is a mid pipe a dual resonated one... Then anothe person says it a magnaflow cat just for you to turn around and say oh yeah it is a gutted cat I just call it a mid pipe.
