There's already a dyno of the authentic HKS exhaust here. If this proves to make the same power, be in at least lasting quality, and look pretty damn close to the orginal, I think this is a great buy.

why would the dyno of this exhaust be any different than the HKS? The pipe design, path, and diameter are the same.

it is an ebay replica. i am not quite sure what anyone is really expecting from this. give it 6-8 months, when it starts to rust out from under the car, like most stainless steel pipes do.

You do realize stainless steel is corrosion resistant . Even mild steel will not rust significantly if you live in a southern climate(ie not in a area where snow is prevelant).

yea but the best offer thing is a joke.. if you look at his last auction, he denied every offer except for like 480 and above.. its still a good price, but why bother with the best offer button unless you were gonna take a bunch more off, right ?

LOL very true. I didnt even bother looking at the average "price sold". I was however looking for pissed off buyers but i couldnt find any .
