He is selling a bunch of items, I made him an offer on 3 items combined. Obviously I offered a bit lowered than each items asking price would have been if combined.

so basically you are paying 1000$ extra for the name. The pipes are the same, the canisters are the same, their performance is the same. Everything is so the same, you need this thread

Not knocking you or anyone here by any means here...

But, if Hyundai made a replica of a G35 or Z (just copied everything) and sold it for half the price, I would buy it! Heck it would already be debadged and everything lol.

It think the bottom line is rather you think the item is worth it or not. Some people think mods itself is not worth it doesn't matter if the parts is real or not. On a side note if you really want a replica car then you need to pay China a visit...they have fake everything...especially the fake X5..it looks REALLLLL

Just incase anyone is interested, I didn’t buy this exhaust because the owner sold the car. Since then I have bought an exhaust.

I recently found out that the new owner bought the car to part it out, or sell complete, either way to make a profit on the car. I contacted him to inquire about the parts I was interested in while being owned by the previous owner.

He is asking $1400 for the HKS exhaust in the pics I posted. I just bought one so I am not interest, but if anyone is looking for one let me know and I will forward the info.

i recently got a new HKS HI-power for a guy and his 350z... the box was MASSIVE...

but i couldnt fit the box in my van so i had to take it out.

it's true, there was no stamping on the exhuast at all which was a pain in the *** because i often sell unbranded stuff... so the buyer was understandably hesitant.

that said, the HKS one comes with much much better hardware. the tips come packaged separately in an HKS box + the paperwork...

if you are not getting it new and dont have a faker to compare to right there then good luck figuring it out... i couldnt.

you can say 'quality' but the china stuff is right there for non-complicated parts like a catback anyways
