Let me know how it is. I remember a while back I was on here and they had some Z members flamming people who bought knock-offs instead of the real thing. I personally don't see what the big deal is if it's of good quality and doesn't break.

Is that the knock-off for the twin loop Hi-power HKS exhaust?

I was one of those guys getting flamed, well now look who is laughing .

Alot of people on here have more money than they have sense. I came from a car community that was full of innovative people who were very mechanically inclined so that is why i get so aggravated with peeps on this site. 80% of them are rich boys that don't even do their own work on their car so how can they judge what parts are quality and what isn't.

I hear that all the time. It really is harder compared to the controller but once you get it down, it makes it a lot better hehe.

Better hurry, Jason is shipping his car off in two weeks I think

Ha i can't beat that dead line. I probably won't install it till later this fall. Dude you have got to see the manifolds, they are nice as FAWK!!!! Equal length tubular headers with 3 inch collector FTMFW!!!!

This car is going to be loud, it is going to have 3 inch down pipes and wastegate dumps. Can you say 450whp on 8psi!!!!

I thought I remembered your user name. I too came from a board where people were very mechanically inclined and did 90% of the work themselves. I personally don't mind owning a knock-off part, especially an expensive exhaust, if the quality is the same and it sounds right.

The main company that produces the part isn't necessarily the only one that can do it right in my eyes. Though there are some parts that will just fuq your shiet up. Friend of mine had an ebay turbo virtually melt in his car when he ran it for the first time.

I totally agree with, there are some parts in which it is okay to go with a knock off, but when it comes to FI or anything for my motor or suspension i go with well respected companies.

Totally agree. I don't care about an exhaust but when it comes to parts that matter, then it's the real deal for me. I definately wouldn't buy a el cheapo TT kit or engine internals. That's when the car goes boom.
