A look inside of an HKS H-pipe- picture
I had the hks exhaust when I had a 350z and found the same thing when I had the hpipe swapped for a magnaflow xpipe, I was shocked when I saw what was inside. the crossover pipe wasn't as un-centered as the one on your's though, but it still impeded airflow.
it's more than that now, a local shop told me that HKS is raising or just raised their prices, I forgot. HKS= Hella Ka$h, Suckas!

If anyone dares cut up their HKS to confirm my theory of the side branch resonators also having the protruding pipe inside the exhaust, that's double fail.
BUT, as I said earlier, this is a simple fix any exhaust shop can fix.
If your not too concerned about power, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Reason's to get a MD than a similarly priced HKS
High quality construction
Made in US
Owner is on the forum. Got a problem. PM him.
Independent dyno proven
V-band clamps
Guaranteed fitment
Different configurations in older versions.
Ability to use test pipes AND a HFC (shockwave)
ADD: No protruding pipes that impede exhaust flow (H-pipe)
Downfall: No "JDM" "status".

Lol I was gonna say something, but I'm already labeled as a MD fanboy haha. And for good reason too!
