Buying a knockoff is like buying a replica bodykit. Everytime you do it u just hurt the aftermarket industry. To the OP who bought the exhaust... congrats on doing just that. I would love to be there in 2-3 months when the exhaust starts to break down its steel wool and burn out its sound absorption and your car will sound just like the weed wacker civics. Dont be surprised when you are left with 200dB and lost whp after u dyno this POS. Besides buying knockoff's and replicas are considered RICE in every sense of the word. But hey its your car. Good job.

Their exhaust is one of the best made systems for the Z. He expects that his exh. will have quality compared to the HKS one. Plus as others have said no vids yet. Might have broken down already...
