Pretty hard to find info on the net for determining fake from real Spoon N1 mufflers.
Got my hands on a Gen 1 EK Spoon N1 muffler, but still need to determine if its legit. All I know is that Gen 1, has no Spoon branding or badge, unlike Gen 2, and 3. Also the can (before the tip) is unpolished on the Gen 1. Apparently the Gen 1 tip is longer too.

Can't find any dimensions or anything - and from what I see, maybe the welds are different on the fake vs real? I have attached a picture of what the welds looks like where the canister meets the plate (where the 2 hangers rods are attached to).
If someone could share some images on what a Spoon N1 muffler Gen 1 should look like.

The Tig wield looks pretty good but a square attachment plate sticking out means they rushed production and its not legit. A real expensive exhaust would be almost perfect in shape, form and wield.
