If you are talking about the Ebay ones, there have been many threads regarding them.

That is just the first thread I found when I searched for HKS Ebay. Hope that gives you a bit more information.

repost!!! There are a few vendors that sell it throught the forum as well. It is garbage compared to the HKS one, but I've heard its a decent exhaust system for the money.

Its the XO2 exhaust they make about the same gains of the HKS. Not bad for a third of the price.

Some members buy eBay knock-offs.
Some members buy the original.
Where do you feel more confident putting your money?

^***** house. One of our guys here ordered the XO. I'm sure we'll have a review of it up. We'll also try to do a comparison if we can find another stock with HKS Z

definitely not with the knockoff crap. You end up having to replace most of the knockoff parts because they're just horrible. I have met 3 different xo2 owners after hearing my my exhaust, have said they 1. should have bought the real thing, or 2. are going to get rid of their system and purchase the real thing. There are too many articles in all of the performance magazines that address problems with knockoff parts. Buy the real thing or nothing. The Z and G are nice cars, don't ruine them by putting on cheap parts. Do it right or not at all. (IM not so HO).
