how to tell if it's a HKS hi power exhaust

Like the title says.. How can you tell if it's an HKS hi-power exhaust? since I know they have the xo2's out there and those are the replicas

The only way I was able to tell was that mine came out of a sealed and strapped HKS box. And three years later there is no rust.

the hi power exhaust does not have the HKS signature on it. the only way to tell the difference is the price, the sound, and the tips.

you can tell by the tips...the h-pipe that it has...where the bolts on the tips are.. and how the tips look like....even if the x02 changes its tips it still has a different sound...ive had x02 before

HKS Exhaust....!

Installed my HKS system last Sat., everything fit like a glove. All hardware
including gaskets were included. The only thing I don't like is how short the
tips are. I'd like to see them extended from the muffler out, approx 4" longer.
Ask anyone, 4" does make a difference....LOL The sound....nasty, just like
I wanted....
