Default real deal skunk 2 manifold! how can you tell?

Well im in the process of buying a Skunk2 intake manifold for my b18c1 hatch. I have found one on ebay for a really good price 195 shipped, but still a little nifty about it.

He said it was the real deal but when i read his feedback 2 people complained that its not real, that its a fake (blox manifold).

My question is: How can you tell if its the real deal or not? Any logos on the manifold, parts (manufactures) number.

please help guys because i would rather spend the 60 or so bucks more for the real deal.

thanks H-T

The Blox and Skunk2 are the same thing.

i seee.. yeah i did some research and actually found out that the blox is a better manifold than skunk2, larger ports, smoother finish, uses all stock component including cable and bracket.. i might consider the blox over the skunk2 because of the pricin and performance

I am pretty sure skunk2 puts part # on top right of each manifold stamped in black, I don't think BLOX does

The only difference is the advertising. It's the same thing.
