Question Best HKS replica maker out there?

Like the title states guys who makes the best HKS replicas? I got the mod bug and I think exhaust is my first power/sound mod. I really like the HKS replicas since it's cheap and I usually hear great things about it. Therefore, I was wondering who makes the best one out there? Can you guys give me like the E-bay link I want to order it today or tomorrow just got my paycheck . I already ordered a few things such as

Black and clear corner lights with 5 LED 194 bulbs,
D2S 10000K HID bulbs
LED front turn signals 7440
And the H1 Fogs for now I want the exhaust next then I want to do a grill and wheels probably if I can. I was thinking the Volk GT-S M-Silver or Matte Black.


Thank you all I know I have been promising to post pics of the car just haven't got a chance to do it I promise I'll do it soon.

Lol 10k hid bulbs, you are going to catch some flak for that. Add on buying a replica exhaust ohhh boy...

If you search, there was a very large thread about the x02 style exhausts and the post was actually reviewing one of the highest quality ones.

I use to have 8000k on my 335 it was really nice. I think I am going to change it to 8 it's a little light blue with white. Just saw a video on youtube 10 is a bit too much. I will change my fogs to 6000K and the HIDs to 8. But for the exhaust can you guys please post some links which is best???? I was thinking one of these 2

They both look like they are from the same manufacturer.

The ARK Grip exhaust isn't exactly an HKS replica but it looks very similar from the back. It's more expensive than the X02 style knock-offs which are all trash, but you definitely get better quality to go along with it. If you had to go with one, I'd go with that.

Still, I say be patient and wait for a used HKS. They can be had for ~$800 with some minor imperfections.
