the can looks similar, but the tip doesn't. The tip looks rather long and it should have a rolled end. Looks like the axle back piping was hacked too- no reason to do that do a Spoon axle back

yeah, after hearing that it was hacked up, and now looking closer, I do see the rolled tip.

I have yet to see a knock off of the spoon muffler either

oh, I hacked up my Spoon axle back to come out at an angle anyways

look at where the hanger is. IF he did redo it to fit his s2k wouldnt he have to redo the hanger? see if u can see where he modified the hanger and if its just a hanger that looks custom welded on, or if theres a sign of where he cut the old hangers off. It does look like a older generation of it tho. I just got one this summer, and my whole can is polished, where your guys's looks a bit dull.

that is a real 1st gen spoon muffler, it is not the one for your car, and has been hacked to death.

keep it dull as it was originally made... you dont want to be blingy like the new version.

Well.... it's real .... chopped off, beaten up, mistreated, and dirty as expletive.

But it's real.

I had one too, and it looked exactly like this. The only fakes I've seen are relatively new, and are also full-polished. The real spoon is spun/brushed, like that one is. It looks like he cut it off the axle-back and put it on a different car.

no. The newer versions of the spoon n1 now come with a polished full muffler can. That spoon N1 is an older generation.
