Default HKS Hi Power dual Exaust clone

Anyone ever heard of this exaust from HiProSpeed (HPS). It sorta looks like a clone of the HKS HI Power. Should I buy ?

cxlighting seem to be out of stock on those exhausts. Are the x02 tips exactly like the HKS and HPS. I do not like the funnel shaped ones. Also, the HPS ones look like good quality ones. I will coat whatever I get with 2 coats of clear engine enamel to make it rust proof.

imitation exterior kits are one thing.. but i would never buy knock off performance parts.. especially exaust, which is a hybrid of performance and looks. seen a hybrid HKS in person and it's asz.. it doesn't have the right shine, burnt tips turns dark grey/black instead of blue, lol. If you're willing put that crap on your car, More.. I mean less power to ya.. Pardon the pun.

There are so many knockoffs out there that we cannot begin to list.

Buy a major brand with proven performance and reliability, and you know what you are getting. Buy a knockoff and save some bucks. Your money - your decision.

I've been doing some research on the best knockoffs. So far HPS and cxlighting are the best I have seen. There and many people using them without a problem.

The argument which HKS owners throw @ Prospective ebay, Xo2 "knockoff" owners is about as intelligent/worthwhile as Billy Madison's "Shampoo is better"

for reference.
