Default How to tell if it's Spoon or not?

Ever since I've had my S, I've had a HORRIBLE exhaust rattle. It always annoyed the shit out of me, so yesterday I decided to put the car up on a lift and find where it was coming from. Turned out, the baffle inside my test pipe was loose, easy fix. But, I also found out something interesting that I wasn't previously aware of, my car has a Spoon Sports test pipe on it. Well, after looking over the construction of it, materials, welds, flanges, bungs, etc, I noticed that my header (which was heat wrapped) was constructed of all the exact materials, etc. So... I started unwrapping out of curiousity. Got it all unwrapped, looked it over, but couldn't find any spots with any identification tags on it. The bends and construction, however, are all identical to that of the Spoon Sports headers. I've been looking at pictures online, and trying to find more info on the headers, and not every picture I've seen online has an ID tag either. So, how do I tell if it's legit or not?

I tried to take pics while I was up under the car, but my camera battery was dead.

I very highly doubt it. The construction of the header is excellent, and the car used to be supercharged and I've found a lot of other higher end parts on it also. I just don't see an ebay header holding up as well as this has, nor have I ever seen one put together so nicely.
