too good to be true?

Came across a crazy deal on a AMS Turbo-back exhaust but my only concern is how legit it is. I don't want to pick it up and find out its some kind of eBay knock-off and fitment is completely off. If anyone has anyone info on what i should look out for like markings/logos or if anyone has pictures before install or of the downpipe and muffler that would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou guys!~!!

ams exhaust will have 3 bolt flanges and the muffler will have ams etched into the tip.

As mentioned above, my AMS cat back has a three bolt flange from the downpipe to the cat section, and another 3 bolt flange from the cat section to the mid pipe. It also has AMS logo on top of the exhaust tip. I believe the older AMS exhaust may not have the logo and use a vibrant muffler instead of their own.
