Is this an authentic HKS Hi Power Dual Ti exhaust or the x02?

Need help guys, I want to know from these pictures if this is a real authentic HKS? How can one tell the difference besides the tips. And I know you can buy the authentic HKS tips directly from HKS, but besides that they look almost identical. Any experts can help me identify, i'd appreciate it!

looks authentic, you can tell from the tips. You can compare it to this pic of an X02 exhaust that i had. the "hks clone"

big difference in the tip quality.

Thanks a lot guys for helping! BTW do you think this exhaust will work? The H Pipe looks a bit brown and rusty and will I be able to restore and make the pipes shiny like new again?

i got a topspeed hks true dual clone.. for the price i could of never been happier.. my buddy has the hks dual and i have driven his g and compared to mine there is pretty much no difference at all.. maybe noise only.. there is more drown and its louder then the authentic..if you got 1600 to spend on the authentic on good for you.. but for 600 you definitely cant complain. just my thought

the Y pipe looks fine, most of our Y pipes look like that now cause of the heat. as long as there is no damage to it it'll be ok. If you clean it up, it'll blacken right back.
