I wish I could see some up close shots of the welds. They don't look bad at all from that distance.

Since the price of the entire exhaust is about the same price as my own custom exhaust w/o the cost of the mufflers so i figured what the hell. If the mufflers fail i will just replace them with the HKS cf ti canisters.

I am probably going to do a before and after dyno since i have a buddy that works at a shop w/ a dyno-jet that is litterally 2 miles from my house. I guess we will see how the "clone" compares to the real deal

Looks pretty good. Slightly different from the original. I do see a difference in this pic. The middle section is only welded together at one point where the HKS it's welded together at 2 points. Also the tips don't look blue.

If your talking to me, I'm not hating one bit. Don't know where you are getting that from. I simply merely pointed out some differences. So what if I paid double for the original? I didn't want to wait a year and a half for a knock off and no one back then knew if a knock off would ever be produced.

By the way you need to go back to highschool you freaking NEWB. Triple the price would be in the $2,000 range. I don't think anyone paid $2,000 for the HKS exhaust.

Let us relax on this. Those that have the real HKS, great. I am sure you are happy. Your value is not diminished in any way, no more than the Rolex guys because I bought a couple of knock offs in Korea for a joke. If this system works for the price, what's the problem?

I will not cast my opinion until the OP has some feedback with the exhaust on. From the pictures, it looks pretty decent. Although, I am not feeling those tips.

Hey Chris, you wouldn't happened to be off of Benningtan(sp?) last night? I saw a black 06 Z last night around that area.
