Default Hks knockoff installed pics

Here are some pics of the exhaust installed. As you can see for the money you can't go wrong. To me the exhaust sounds good and fits perfect.

Damn, I was hoping for subpar results being that I have the real HKS, but the only thing I can say is congrats! Looks like I overpaid!

Is it me, or does the fitment look off? In the third pic, looks like the tips are crooked and also looks like the mufflers are not aligned correctly.(could be the angle of pic)

Keep us informed, I am interested in seeing how it holds up.

Edit: After looking at it again for a third time, it looks like the tips need to be adjusted.

I have some in the original thread i posted. The welds were very clean and look good to the eye. The only thing i am worried about is if they made the welds at to high of temp so they could speed up the production process. this would help to introduce more oxygen into the weld which could cause problems later down the road. Also to my suprise the flanges were thicker than i expected @ 1/4" thick

I'd still get the authentic. Either do it right the first time or don't do it at all.

+1. Well, I wasn't really hoping for subpar results, but it really looks like a complete reproduction from what I have seen. I wonder of the resonators and mufflers are the same part, hard to tell by looking.
