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.

Because in this industry, I'll believe it when I see it.

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 .

so is this thing loud with stock cats and whatnot? Does it retain some of the 350z's tone?
