greddy vs freddy intake manifold

[180sxidey]

How do you tell the difference from the picture? I do have the real greddy intake manifold that I am trying to sell.. but It doesn't have the greddy sticker on it and makes it look like freddy.. I just wanted to know if there is anyway to show that it s real.
Thanks!

pics the actual material it made is different and you can tell also you can see if the manifold has any imperfections then its a freddy so take some pics im pretty sure i can tell a real from a fake.

the casting on the outside/inside of the freddy aren't smooth. if you do get a freddy one get a shop to smoothen the inside of the plenum and runners.

yes its real, from the pic you can tell the casting and the material of the manifold is good quality. Not allot of people know this but where the throttle body cable bracket goes is very smooth and almost shiny that tells me its real. Here is a pic of mine so you can almost see what im talking about.

Take pictures of the inside and have somebody with a Freddy manifold do the same. Thats where the most obvious differences are noticeable....

yeah its legit. You can just tell from the outside.

In this picture, on the plenum between the 3rd and 4th runner, you can see a discoloring in the casting in the shape of a circle, All greddy intake manifolds have that, and you can see it even clearer when you polish them.

You can see a little bit of the ring in this picture.
