Nice find.. I have had the exhaust for over a year now and love it. In my opinion I think the exhaust is super quiet and there's no highway drone. Enjoy!

authentic.. give you props for getting that one and not the XO2 imitation stuff. i have the HKS HI Power TD too. You would always want the real deal.
btw After you run the car for a while, the exhaust will sound much deeper and growls much more

^it's coming off a car already it will be "worked in"

This is still my favorite exhaust for the G and Z. When I get the money my Z will be awarded one.

The welds on all HKS systems are very nice and clean, very uniform. The welds on the axle back look authentic, but the welds on the mid pipe look like crap. Don't know what to make of that...

The mid pipe looks ok, maybe he meant the Y pipe? They look a little iffy. But they look sealed so I wouldn't worry.
