Get it, mostly everyone advices against it. But if you're dead set on buying it go ahead. Like its been mentioned already...a few hundred bucks more and you can get something new and just as nice.

its funny how you said you wouldn't put cheap knockoffs on your car but you will put a pos falling apart exhaust on your car. you seem deadset on getting it no matter what everyone says so just pull the trigger
Half of you noobs don't know what you are talking about. It is a legit HKS you can tell by the end caps on the resonator. If you are not lowered than if it doesn't leak there won't be any issues. The problem is the asking price is too high for an exhaust that is worse than the knockoff version. The burnt tips will wear off regardless.
The HKS is worse because in earlier models the H-pipe is actually just a pipe welded in blocking air flow. The knockoff versions are actually better than the original.

Wrong. Your knock of ebay HKS exhaust is not better than the Authentic HKS original design exhaust. It maybe better in terms of copy the original design and revise it and put their brand on. Other than that, materials and weld contruction quality are no comparison with the Authentic HKS. The best example is, Kia and Hyundai copy cars design from others auto brand companies to build their cars, but they run like ****. Just my 2cents.
Flex joints are cheap http://vibrantperformance.com/catalo...Path=1022_1064 and a good shop can easily swap them out. I would have the price dropped a bit more to offset the cost of the flex joints and having a nice x pipe installed

If you're looking for a real HKS exhaust hit up Ray as he has one for sell. You won't have to worry about it being fake. Here's the link:
