Just curious. It looks like a basani to me but I could be wrong. Thanks

Looks like a knockoff Bassani. The megaphone and end cap just don't look right.

The end cap is painted and non removable. It's welded on there. To me it looked like a thunderheader with the end portion removed but then I started looking at basanis and it looked more like the road rage

That looks like a thunder header to me. The heat shields and brackets look identical

Yep, thunderheader that's been circumcised and the end painted black to cover where the welds were, 100%. Don't buy it.
