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!!!

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.

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.

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
