Need a Legit Check on HKS exhaust

ok guys im thinking about buying a HKS exhaust but im not sure if its a replica or authentic. the guy im buying from says its 100% authentic HKS hi-power exhaust. He said he had it on his 350z and got it extended 8inches when he put it on his G. considering that it was extended to me it still looks sunken. this is were i think it can be a replica since i know the x02 sits sunken but im not sure. so im looking for help from my fellow driver members to help me determine if this exhaust is legit or not..

THANKS Fellas

Real, welds on the canisters and a properly burnt tip.

Looks real but I'd wait for an HKS exhaust made for the G35. Sunken tips look terrible.

Extended by 8" means it's probably fake.

But the canister and the tip do look legit.
