IMHO the HKS is a waste of time also. Who spends that much on a dual w/ a crappy H pipe?

That exhaust is commonly referred to as the XO2 exhaust, and yes, it looks exactly the same(minus quality tips), and DOES sound exactly the same. I have this exhaust and have lined it up right next to another members who has the HKS exhaust, and other members couldnt tell which was which, and they DID sound the same. People will hate, but those are the same people that will pay hundreds of dollars for an APR oil cap. lol Haters will hate man, Its a great exhaust for the money. I would recommend ordering some topspeed titanium exhaust tips though that are better quality tips that wont fade like the ones that come with the exhaust.

Decide for yourself......they are close, and IMO the deeper tone of the XO2 sounds better
