HKS, Authentic or Replica? (Pics Inside)

Hello everyone,

Im thinking about purchasing this used HKS exhaust. The owner of the HKS exhaust sent me some pics. Just wanted to know if his HKS is AUTHENTIC and not a XO2 or other knock off's. He saids its AUTHENTIC but i just want to make sure 100% b4 I pay him.

Heres the pics he sent me

Authentic. The tips on the dead chambers are welded on authentics.

not really - depends how fast you drive probably -

when i hit the beltway and i'm going 80-85 or so it can drone a bit - but at 65-70 i don't notice much and i commute about 80 some miles roundtrip... i think you'll like it

Real. Welcome to the authentic HKS club, I applaud you for not getting an X02/KCR/etc. You're going to freaking love this exhaust, it's the best for G35 bar none.

And just FYI it drones a little bit between 35-45mph if you're 5AT.

Looks to be a little torn up and frayed under the right side, I'd ask him for a picture of the under side of it as well.

If he ends up trying to screw you over you can just show up pounding on his door and then

It's "The Real Thing!"

That was my 5th and final choice for an exhaust system, you'll love the HKS! Drone....not that I've noticed since I'm either listening to tunes or my wife. (some times both)
