Your cAr tho, diffrents strokes for different folks
who cares if its fake? it looks good either way. the real HKS blows anyways cause of that y-pipe restriction someone found after hacking it.
in the end, its just an exhaust.

Y-pipe restriction???

I thought it was the h-pipe and it's a simple x-pipe fix
Who cares if it's fake? I DO!!! next ur going to say varrostean wheels are bad ***
Don't hate on the real hks, "in the end it's just an exhaust" ppshh sure, then why not just leave it stock

HKS is one of the best sounding exhaust EVER made for the Z, main thing about an exhaust is the sound so... Well that answered that .

x02 owner : hit the exhaust with mothers polish, and repeat till ur liking, as for ur tips, I would just rub all that brown off or pay for some topspeed ti tips I'm glad your car came with that exhaust and you didn't waste money on it

i meant the x-pipe.
IMO, HKS looks good but the tone isn't the most appealing to me.
Thats really subjective. ITs all about personal taste.

FYI, not that you care, i've decided on the RPF1s.

H-Pipe

It's ok bro, I know what you mean ... Lol
But if I've heard both together then you would think otherwise

Bagged00- you can tell the diff. From the tips for one , the canisters for two, and third.. Last but not least... The polish!

After it rained! Just wiped off water and took pic, NO PoLISH

Can't tell you how many people ask me about my exhaust for one of two reasons....(1) Sounds amazing....I want mine to sound like that too! (2) Looks amazing....never saw an exhaust like that!

Look if you got the money to blow. Congrats! I'd prob buy the real deal also, but the fact is I am in med school and don't have the funds to own a 350z really.....esp. not a 1300 exhaust for it. IMO you get a lot more bang for your buck with this exhaust.

I know what you mean bro, and you don't have to justify to me why you got a fake I feel you, work school no life, lol, Id personally rather buy a used real hks than a fake.... To each his own...
