Default Is this a real F-sport exhaust?

hey guys, I bought an f-sport exhaust from one of the guys here on the forums, and i just got it in the mail.
Now, i am quite surprised, as i looked on both the canisters (exhaust tips) where i know its supposed to say "f-sport" engraved, but the tips are just blank, and there is nothign written on them... Does this mean that they are fakes or replicas? Dont the F-sport exhaust all say "f-sport" on the exhaust tips?

Thanks in advance..

No, not all of the f-sport exhausts have the engraved f-sport on the tips. You should be able to find the part numbers on the exhaust and compare those to make sure it is an f-sport.

I believe they added the f-sport engraving within the last year or so.

Some of the Fsport exhausts were made without the "Fsport" engraving. I know that Sewell sold these versions at a discount.

Here is a link comparing the f-sport to the old HKS. It has detailed pics of the f-sport:

Yea, okay. Cause i know it looks just like an F-sport, but it just scared me that the engraving wasnt there, because everytime i saw pics of the exhausts I would always see it.
Anyway, i doubled checked and it is actually an F-sport. Thanks guys, time to install this badboy..
