imposter heat exchanger?

ok so I bought a cx racing h/e off of another member...and I think it's a fake. Instead of the cap saying cx racing, it has some asian writing on it....

anyone ever hear of this?

post a pic, I know what both heat exchangers look like, and I was the first person to buy a cxracing h/e. Post it up and I'll tell you if it's real or fake.

also, does anyone think it really matters as long as the welds are good and everything?

Unless the inlet/outlet holes are too small. which would reduce the flow potential.

I was honestly thinking the same thing. It was just the principle that I bought a cx and thought I didn't get one. you know what I mean?

well it looks like it is a cx based on what everyone is saying. thank you all for weighing in

That is definitely a CXRacing. It's one of the first that was made. It looks exactly like mine.
