Maybe I should copy the Amuse exhaust, sell it for cheap and call my company Amuze Engineering..
How is Motordyne's exhaust an HKS rip-off? Explain.

Fitment was pretty good but that's due to having a good shop put it on, they spent about an hour getting it to line up almost perfectly maybe like 1/4" off.

Tips looked ok, nothing special, but they got bent in shipment and the shop had to use their pipe expander to get them back into shape, but I ended up putting them on backwards because it was a little too tucked in for my liking and didn't want to risk melting my bumper.

Ah I see, thanks I might have to do the same with the tips. How much did they charge you to install?

$250 flat, just 2 1/2 hours labor nothing else. They didn't like the hardware or gaskets so they replaced all of those, but didn't charge me for it.

DIY, I did it with mine. Was a pain without a lift and only with 2 jacks but well worth it. As far as the tips being too close you can either just have a shop bend the hangers a bit or if you search there is a washer trick I think used on an HKS to lower it more. I haven't gotten a x-pipe yet so I have no clue if that just bolts up perfectly or if work needs to be done...

I did a full honest review on HKS and the replicas since I've owned and ran both..

HKS is better but anyone who bashes the replica is a dumbass.. Fraction of the price>bigger piping>makes more power>****ty tips..

Proof.
