Default Verify Authentic Spoon Snorkel or replica?

Bought the car with this snorkel installed into the stock airbox.. I was told it was a spoon snorkel.. i cant recall if it was a replica tho..

Anyway of telling.. there are no badges on it that say "spoon" or any badges in general for that matter..





Any tests to determine what the material really is?

The material looks to be correct, so it very well may be a Spoon snorkel!

I had a spoon header and it never had anything of there name on it, i also have the spoon raditaor and it also has no marking so i dont' think they do that often. only thing that had there name on the stuff was the boxes.

Sometimes Spoon and J's put their names on their parts, and sometimes they don't. Kinda odd if you ask me, but you may very well have a genuine spoon. Either way it doesn't really matter though, unless you wanna brag about having a $300 snorkel on your car

and if the engraving looked like this then it is fake as well... stop being fooled by ebay sold products!

Yeah, on second glance I was completely wrong! That definitely is not genuine. Thanks for the correction
