the real HKS doesn't actually says HKS on it. You'll know by the quality of it. If it doesn't look cheap than its real.

I think the difference is the tips! My HKS has blue tips, the XO2 has black ones, from what I understand!

Here's an idea. Search for pics of each and look for any discernible differences, such as the caps on the end of the resonators.

I'm nicer than a lot of the people here, so here are your pics (The top is X02, the bottom is HKS):

bright blue tips = HKS
brown/dull blue tips = x02
