Default Replica F-sport Exhaust?

Hey guys, just a question out of curiosity, but is it possible to have a replica F-sport exhaust? What if you have the one without the logo on the tips, how can you tell its legit f-sport other then the part numbers on the 3 pieces?

I remember some member(s) ordered a F-sport exhaust from Sewell and it did not have the etching on the exhausts. It was a genuine F-sport, just didn't have the engraving.

if i'm not wrong you can also check the mufflers only one side actually is a working muffler.... or something like that... read that somewhere before... and ummm the old Lexus HKS does not have the F-sport etching but in actuality they are almost identical...

You can't I guess.... The part# on the pipes would be the only evidence if u don't have the logo on the tip.

now that im looking a little closer at these ebay exhausts, only the f-sport and HKS come in 3 pieces. The two canisters and then the y-pipe. All of the ebay cheapo exhaust one of the canisters is actually directly connected to one end of the y-pipe, then the other canister is conected with a flange to the other end of the y-pipe. Interesting. Just an observation.

Additionally, F-Sport muffler has unique smooth edge not seen on most of the others
