   My mate has one and it has Magnex ingraved into it, you can only see it tho when you take the back box off. I would have a look on ebay at what people are selling and see if there any markings to go by as some may and some may not.
   
   Goodluck

   My magnex backbox doesn't have magnex engraved on it anywhere, but has a small metal plate on the silencer with a few codes and numbers engraved on it from what I remember!

   My supposed magnex has nothing on it. I had one on an xr2i and that had a metal magnex badge on the backbox.
