Honestly...how reliable is this Knock off exhaust( HKS )?

Sound? Durability? Performance?
Its 800-900 cheaper than the authentic HKS TI exhaust so what are the pros and cons.I'm debating between this and the Topspeed Pro N1(I'd rather have a true dual though but not pay 1500)

again, i think only time can tell....the ebay ratings for the ebay vendors are really good and this exhaust could turn out to be a great solution for ppl who cannot afford $1500 exhaust....lets jsut give it some time.

many ppl like the topspeed exhaust and it started on ebay as well..so we'll see.

stainless steel is stainless steel. It only depends on the grade and in this case the knockoff is made of 304 stainless which many of the other name brand exhaust on here are constructed of.

You people that think this thing is just going to literally fall apart and drop to pavement while driving are extremely ignorant.
