people have been saying that the hks is a 2.36" diameter and x02 is a 2.5" diameter exhaust.

I read somewhere that the knock-off has some kind of marking on one of the canisters.

I got an HKS on my car. From what I see in the pic, the exhaust looks like an HKS but I don't believe it's an HKS. The quality of the pipe before the muffler looks really bad, HKS pipe are stainless steel so it should be shinier. The one frome the pic looks really bad and dull.

If you buy this from someone else, he might just bought the muffler and have a muffler shop made the pipe.....or it's just the xo2
