Even has the same box set-up as the HKS... Is it quite possible that these are made from the same people that make HKS's systems? Common place in the exhaust world. One company has their stuff made in a factory that puts out the same design under a different name... Apparently, the design isn't patented...

The Xo2 and HKS are not the same...They may look the same in pictures, but they sound and look different in person...The Xo2 burnt tips are also not on par with the HKS Ti Tips...There have been some Xo2 owners that have had their exhausts rust up...I've seen an Xo2 exhaust in person and it had a brownish color to it. They have poor fitment, and are too short in some cases.
The KCR exhaust in your link is probably manufactured in the same facility as the XO2. It uses the same extension pipes as the Xo2...The HKS doesn't have those.

Just threw in the HKS exhaust today, i would def recommend puttn in the extra $ and gettn the real deal, esp if you plan on keeping your car for a while. i thought about buyin the knock-offs but in the end u may end up paying more, so i figured an exhaust is a one time thing, so y not. and honestly i love my hks, im gnna go in the garage and turn my car on right now jus so i can hear it =)
