While we have never seen any fake Tanabe springs, we have seen quite a few "Tanabe Style" exhausts floating around the internet.

The best way to ensure that you receive the correct authentic product, or a product at all is to follow a few simple rules:

· Purchase from Tanabe Authorized vendors. (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/dealers.asp)
· Purchase from FitFreak.net respected vendors. (See Vendor section)
· Due to high incidences of fraud, avoid purchasing from online auction sites
· If purchasing used from another forum member, document all correspondence should the other party fall through.
· Make sure that the product is right for you! We offer many great products, but you will be the happiest with a product that suits your needs! Feel free to email us at info@tanabe-usa.com regarding product questions, or call us! We are open M-F 8:30am - 5:30pm PST - 310-783-0200. We answer all emails within 1-2 business days.

We are happy to provide referals to our authorized dealers who may be able to extend discounted pricing from our MSRP list price. We welcome all inquiries.

Drive Safe!
