How to identify a true HKS high power vs replica?
I was wondering what are the definite ways to identify the true HKS Hi power vs the replicas? I know the HKS is supposed to have a weld on the top canister but what else?

The easiest way is the hks has the end cap welds showing on the silencer pieces of the muffler. The chinese knock offs are polished smooth and look like one piece.
HKS: Welds showing on the ends of the silencers
XO2 (etc..): No welds, all polished look one piece.
