Its important that you buy HKS products from authorized HKS USA Distributors.

To be a authorized Warehouse Distributor you have to meet many quality and integrity, and purchasing standards. You have to have a proven track record as a distributor with good business ethics, and have industry leading capabilities. You also are required to purchase, stock, and service a large amount of HKS product.
I've been in this business since 1996, please take my advice and log on to HKSUSA.com and shop from their established network of experienced dealers. Then you'll get it right the first time...

My point exactly, the authorized channels are all listed on hksusa.com.
I am very familiar with HKS's Warrantee policy. (I signed it) Give you an example: We've been the exclusive GReddy Product Support Center for the entire Northeast Region of the United states for over 4 years. Which basically means they rely on us to service all the end users in our area on warranteee and technical support. We get rusty exhausts, broken bolts, turbos with too much shaft play you name it, I've warranteed it. One of the criteria before obtaining a R.A.N. from any manufacturer is the purchase date, where it was purchaced, and did the customer have a receipt? Was the receipt from a reputable company authorized by the manufacturer to resell the product, or did this customer buy the product at a hole in the wall website. These factors will all contribute to why a warantee gets accepted or denied.
Manufactures implement a dealer network to control the integrity of a product and to streamline sales. I would encourage all end users to pick a company thats "on the list"!!! There are several to choose from. Just go to HKSUSA.com and pick one. Your much more likely to get service after the sale.
The exhaust is installed! I have heard just about every exhaust for the Z and Id have to say this one takes the cake. It is super mean, deep and LOUD! Even with my high flow cats, there is no rasp. The sound is awesome all around. Seat of the pants dyno appears to have left a good first impression also.
We took a bunch of pics and video, but probably wont be able to post it till tomorrow night! It was worth the wait!!!
Two thumbs up for HKS on this one.
edit: Special thanks to HanZolo for staying up late and doing 99% of this install w/o a lift! (I did the tips, I think thats 1%)

so this is made of stainless steel but has a titanium tip?
I guess it wont be any lighter than any of the other duals out there now, will it? If only the tips are titanuium.
why is this thread titled Ti exhaust? I guess I just think it to be a bit misleading.
btw - did you do a before dyno? and going to do an after?
