HKS knock off installed
yes, i don't mind knockoffs and replica's if they offered something the original didn't other than cost, like the aersosync bumper.. it comes with emblem and lip line shaved and is urethane, but to try to be exactly like the original and offer nothing better but actually worse quality with the sole intent to dip into hks' market is plain dirty business, business of this kind are scum imho and will never get my money. at least give the originator credit and call the exhaust hks-style or whatever, how low can you go?

I just got back from the dyno and this exhaust is worth it !! On the same dyno as on my post probaly a page back by now tiltled " 06 revup dyno stock , more mods and more mods " .
My last Dyno was with the following mods : Pop charger , Motordyne 5/16 iso spacer , mrev2 , kinetix resonated TP"s , Alphawerks stainless headers , and greddy muffler . I made 253WHP and 242 TQ . This is a Mustang dyno by the way so #'s will be higher on a dynojet . Now for the #'s you all have been waiting for .............. 273 WHP and 249 TQ corrected . The final number was 275whp before the smoothing affect from the Mustang Dyno The only change is the X02 exhaust and reset the computer . The previous dyno runs are also before a reset .
Im curious to find a dynojet in south florida just to see what the #'s will be . I know I know , #'s are just #'s . I will be posting my dyno sheet as soon as I hook up my scanner to my laptop .
As far as the video , i woke up late and forgot the video camera . I might have time to get a video made .

Please forgive my skepticalness but I think +20hp is an inflated number (unless the Greddy muffler was a big hp-killer) BUT even if it makes 10 real hp only it has all expectations fulfilled.

The dyno doesn't lie .............. The exhaust was the last part to go on the car after all of the other mods . So the stock exhaust was a restriction . I will be posting the dyno sheet very soon .

Here is the dyno sheet ...........
The top lines are the new runs from today and the botton lines are from my last dyno run before the exhaust and a reset to the ecu . This is the same dyno i have made all of my runs on .

The HKS is more high pitched compared to the knock off which is more low and deep.
This is an old vid of my HKS exhaust (click on pic to see vid):

Although on this vid, my car has other bolt ons (thats why its raspy), I know for sure the HKS is more high pitched when it is just the exhaust alone.
