There is absolutely no logo anywhere. I bought mine at Spoon distributor Opak Racing in SF and when I took it out of oem box, I ask why Spoon don't put logo and answer is their idea of prevent copy. Don't ask me why. Only story I heard is AJ did sold copy ones in CD.

 

idk it has a logo but everything so be written in japanesse

 

My friend has one (street silencer) and it has a small tag welded w/ a serial number and logo on the back of the muffler itself. Came from Opak racing.

 

no. not on the N1

 

my buddy has a spoon n1 and it does not have any kind of marking on it that says spoon

 

well i just picked one up, the N1 style, no markin watsoever on it, so just making sure, piping looks big, nice welds, and light too.

Thanks for the info guys

What are you trying to say?

The Spoon N1 has no markings of any kind on the muffler itself.

 

Here are some quick pics, havent cleaned it yet!

 

the old ones do not . some of the new ones do pretty cool.


repeat....YES some (that means not all) of the new spoon n1 canister (with the blingy shiny canisters) do come with a spoon sports metal tag spot welded to the end of the canister just before the start of the tip...sorry no photos.(i knew i should have saved the photo) but rest assured there is a metal stamp. i have only seen one full exahaust with it. for not saving that photo

 

well i just wanted to know bout that, so im 100% sure mines the real deal, ill update on how it sounds and with pics after i install it and take my car out of storage!

 

man i miss my spoon n1.. it was my first mod and had to sell it to my friend

now i'm rocking mugen.. love the sound ...

spoon n1 + T1R b pipe was just way too loud for me

 

Here are more pics, i just threw on the rear bumper just to see how its aligned. Its not bolted to the mid pipe either, thats the last part i need, and im really lookin at the T1R midpipe too. Fits like a glove!

 

I have a Spoon cat-back exhaust on my S2000, there are no logos or markings on it anywhere

 

mine came brand new sealed in a spoon box with spoon tape and wrapped in spoon plastic, so it better be real!

 

Do you guys have any problems with your local police about it being so loud?i heard from alot of people that its one of the loudest out there, especially mated with the T1R midpipe , and also a test pipe.

 

My exhaust is hella loud to now with the test pipe on (SMS Exhaust) and I have only gotten pulled over once.

All you should do is have a Cat laying around so that ifyou do get a repair order you can just pop the catalytic converter on and get a inspection guy to sign off on the ticket.

Took me ten mins to get someone to sign it for me and then the testpipe went right back on

 

i have never gotten any tickets on it. i have the Spoon B-pipe as well, and it has a resinator on it withno Cat. i personally dont think it is too loud at all. the diameter is 2.37 for the b pipe and the axle back itself. good buy on it. it sounds really nice, i love it

 

Like stated above, some of the new model N1 come with a small "spoon sports" plaque welded on it right above the tip.

 

I had mine in on my Ek gsr swap, 4-1, CAI, straight pipe to the axel back and never got pulled over, although I had the biggest grin on my face everytime 5000rmps were on the tach

 

Tell us again why the rear bumper was off?

Accident?

 

i just bolted my spoon n1 axle back on saturday, love the sound of it, and its still loud with the silencer than my previous exhaust (apexi wsII catback). i bolted my axle back spoon n1 to my apexi ws II b-pipe, sounds nice and just had to work at it to make it fit with the apexi b-pipe, no logos on mine, at first i though it was fake but then realized that most spoon n1's dont have logos

 

finally found a photo...

sorry to bump this but just wanted to let those that were interested in the new spoon plaque that are going on the new muffler systems both the street and the n1 versions... it would have been nice if they did this in the beginning
