that would sound about right, if it was the real thing.. hks claims 14 whp, which equals, somewhere close to 20 flywheel gains. definitely not 30, though.. never buy knockoff performance parts.

Hate on me all u want, but I personally like it.. An exhaust is an exhaust, with HKS, ur mainly buying the name.. if this one does gives the same amount of whp and the parts used are of good quality.. then why not, id buy it..

Call me crazy, but I actually think its pretty awesome as well, and it friggin comes with test pipes. I still feel like its wrong though. I mean HKS went through R N D to develop it hence the cost I guess, its not just about paying for the name. I want to see a dyno for sure. They even went so far as to have the H pipe too WTF!!!

if a person can't afford a HKS, then don't get HKS!! This kindda thing is pissing me off. When many people spend 15K + for an authentic HKS, this f#cker company copied it and sell for 1/2 the price. Now, many people who see real HKS gonna thing it the fake stuff 'cause HKS didn't even put their logo on the Dual-Ti exhaust for the Z.

What's the point of pretending that you have something that you couldn't? These kindda people turn something exclusive into some cheap@$$ piece of junk. I the same like put it a Ferrari F355 kit on a MR2 and pretend that you are driving a Ferrari.

Give me a break, If you can afford expensive part to mod your Z, then buy a Civic. Z is top of the line model for Nissan, of course parts to mod it gonna be more for this kind of model. You want cheaper part, please, go buy a f#cking Civic or RSX.

yeah, it might look the same, but the sound is far from HKS. And I bet the performance too. for 700, why don't just add another 100 and get "AUTHENTIC" Nismo?

Well to defend my point, it is not ok to copy parts, even though you can make them cheaper then the real company, isn't that what patents are for? And why group the Honda people in to buying cheap parts? I know a lot of Honda guys that buy more expensive **** for their crx's then i do for my z. if you want to mod your car and you can't afford the real thing, why the hell not buy an exhaust that you like, who cares if it looks like the HKS exhaust. I'm not saying knock off parts are ok, because i know it hurts the real tuners, but then HKS should get its lawyers out on these guys, if they are breaking patent laws. my

same point here, didn't say Honda people buying cheap parts, i mean that honda parts are generally cheaper: Exhaust, intake, aero part, for example.

I dont even like how the HKS exhaust sounds. I'm sure this one doesn't sound any worse.
