Default What mufflers are these?

My 996 came with an aftermarket exhaust, courtesy of my previous owner. Unfortunately, he was unable to tell me much about them beyond that (helpfully though, the stock OEM mufflers were included in the purchase).

He thought they were Flowmaster or "flow-something", and cost around $900-1000. I think he did the upgrade around 5-7 years ago, so his information/memory may not be super reliable. He is looking for receipts or pictures that may give a better clue, but Flowmaster didn't seem to make a 996 exhaust system, as far as I can tell, so I'm still curious about it.

Based on the shape, I thought they may be Fabspeed's MaxFlow (also fit into the "Flow-something" theory), but there's no logo and it isn't polished. My backup idea was Agency Power (price, general shape), but the ends look a bit different. So, I guess not. Based on the pictures, does anyone have any decent guesses?

The Agency Power ones have the same oval shape but don't have that inner lip, which is what confused me. Billy Boat I think were more curved than this, too.

I may take you up on that, PM when you're in the market. They sound pretty good, so I'm not really looking to change them, but I don't have space for the spare set of mufflers, so I wouldn't mind going back to stock (or do the Fister exhaust mod).

Oooh, you may be onto something with the Top Gear guess, the Sport Silencer is definitely the right shape, same inset on the oval faces and everything. I see that it is also sold as "Powerflow". Interesting.

Top gear definitely do not have polished finish, so you can reduce the amount of choices quickly as many brands are polished.

Can rule Cargraphic out as well from the shape and they have a plaque welded on the bottom too
