As a vendor in another area i understand the frustrations of companys that sell items at a 2 percent or less profit and what that does to an industry, but as a consumer if u buy it from a reputable place or at least what is percieved as one then u cant blame us....i saved 2-300 off what they were offering it at...that however doesnt mean i should get screwed either...still paid 1200....which isnt cheap.

As far as I know the HKS has NO markings anywhere, or at least on the mufflers and tips. I think this is the same for all HKS titanium exhausts, because the carbon Ti does not have markings either.

No the tips are not marked. You can call HKS and ask them. As long as it came in an HKS box and you bought them from a named dealer you should not be worried. The knock offs' burnt finish and welds are noticeably different to the authentic HKS.

What box did it come in? Are the tips burnt brown or are they the rainbow titanium ones. If they are the latter, then you probably have the real deal.

I don't know
My friend has the HKS knockoff and it looks just like my other buddy Billy's.(real)
They did a really nice job with the knockoff.
It sounds good too!

There should be a marking I would think
