tenzo muffler...is this real?

[civ79]

hi everybody...I'm from Italy...I have a civic eg6

today I've bought a tenzo muffler..the type5

when I came home I've looked at tenzo website and my muffler seems to be different from the one on the web...

my type 5 has a logo on the tip "tenzo r"...has a different angle of the tip...and seem to be longer...(20")

picture from tenzo website


my muffler




this is how it's made inside...
..the in-let is 2.3" (picture is taken from the rear)

but on the otherside, before the tip...it's 1.5 (picture taken from the tip)


what you guys think about it?
has anyone ever seen a type5 ?

how can I understand if it is or if it's not original?

thank you

hmmm...
looks to be the same thing. The way they photographed their promo pic makes it hard to see the angled tip, imo.
im not sure about the tenzo R logo, but other than that they appear to be the same thing.
i dont think that you need to worry about it.

thanx for reply...

I really hope you're right man ...but I continue to see it longer and with a different angle...even comparing it with the other pics on their site that I can't post...

anyway thers no logo on that one and no serial number on mine...

I've been looking for specifications on this muffler all over the web...asked in different forums...looked for measures, diameters...it's seems that I'm the only one that has bought this muffler...
