If you guys want a good price on the HKS knock off, hit up Invision 350Z on here. He has better prices than on EBay

Yeah. There was a big discussion about that in the link I found a few weeks ago. The camera man said it was the wind for sure.

I'll probably try the HKS knock off first. The only thing I don't like about it is it weighs about 7 lbs more than stock. Anybody know the weight off the real HKS?

im not one to overexagerate power gains...as this is my 3rd modded car....but this thing really did let my z pull a lot harder up top.

if you guys really did want to chip in for a dyno...i would be willing to do so...but i couldnt get a baseline pull....just the exhaust and popcharger and soon to be spacer

It looks like it has all the same bends so I don't see why it would'nt be just as good.

I had the Borla TD and it gave my Z some ***** on that low end torque. I miss it.

the looks of the knock off and the authentic may look identical.. but what's inside may be different...

down low...im not really sure...some say that have had a little loss in torque...but for me...i really havent noticed any change down low...maybe a loss? but nothing noticeable to me...the top end is awesome...

if i did lose any low end im sure my spacer will make up for that.
