[spirosky33]

soz its an rb25 plenum as well and i dont have any pics but looks exactly like the one on their website but there is a few copys around that look the same too

[[WLDCRD]]

on my rb26 one it doesnt have the sticker but it has GReddy stamped on there. Dont know if the rb25 one is any different

[spirosky33]

PICS tell a thousand words.....who sold it to you?

If its a trust one it should have come with a red greddy sticker, and the plastic packaging inside the box should have blue trust / greddy writing on it, forget what it says

[spirosky33]

id rather not say who sold it to me

it wouldnt be fair and its against forum rules as im pretty sure it is the real deal it came with the box and red sticker too but id like to prove somone wrong also with proof that it is the real deal

[The Mafia]

well, mate I have a gold coloured chain. The guy who sold it to me is trusted.

Is it a fake?

Answer my question and I will answer yours

[Wheezy]

so what your saying is that there is no greddy marked on the plenum.....

Ok, so the kit come with a packet full of bits and pieces of vacume line stuff IIRC, and you would of needed a TB adapter unless you are using a Q45, the adapter comes in a small box with greddy / trust all over its plastic packaging too....

and the stuff filling the rest of the box is that annoying polystyrene stuff.....it was a funny colour IIRC, blue or something (yeah blue semi circlies Im sure of it)......if thats how yours has come its genuine

[mokompri]

ive never seen a fake WITH the red greddy sticker, how much you pay for it

maybe you should ask this question instead, is the person who 'advised' you it was fake, trustworthy ? knowledge wise, idiocy wise, bangwagon wise etc..

[Blitz]

You should be able to pic the cheap fake from the actual Greddy product a mile away. The copy Greddy intake plenums have a terrible terrible finish.

If your was genuine it should have included Greddy documentation in the box to certify its authenticity and should have included the red Greddy badge as mentioned that is usually attached to the top of the plenum itself after you fit it.

who said its a fake? maybe that person is wroung?

[PHaT MR30]

Mine came in a TRUST box, all the vacuum lines have TRUST printed on them, all documentation is PLASTERED with TRUST/GReddy, there is a GReddy badge which sticks on, the TB adaptor has GReddy embossed on it..

I got it from nengun, no probs there.. however 6 months later autobarn sell them for the same price it cost me.

[r33_racer]

got mine from autobarn....same stuff trust hoses and what not, packaging with tune up bolt set inside along with the red sticker which goes in the casted out rectangle ontop of the plenum.

[silver gts-t]

this thread is stupid, you dont even state why he thinks it's fake!

[felixy69]

my RB26 greddy plenum is not smooth

the out side is very rough

and the greddy logo is a thick metal badge

it is a 2pc design where you have to bolt them together and there's a O ring that goes in between.

thats all
