where did u get the real tips from? mine are a little messed up
I dunno.. Slapping real HKS tips on seem a bit well, like cheating. Why not just be proud with being a good thrifty shopper instead of trying to pass it off as real HKS?
Again, would really love to see some actual hp numbers on this thing. It's hard to defend buying replica if you can't at least back up the performance.

I never said i was intentionally trying to pass it off as the real thing. The HKS tips have a much better finish on them and the end of the tips are brighter in color.
As i have said before, the dyno numbers for this exhaust should mirror that of the HKS exhaust. IIRC the pipe diameter is exactly the same and i know for sure the pipe path is exactly the same

HKS at 75lbs, and XO2 at 55lbs... hummmm.... interesting! I'm gonna weigh mine as soon as it comes in, im gonna put both boxes on the scales and get the weight as it is

Figured that was coming. But if there is one thing that the knock off didnt copy directly it probably wont hold up it court...Because technically its not an exact replica at that point
