Now FS is my HKS or trade for MD exhaust

 

Wow... that is really half azzed..

 

We've now confirmed that the Knockoff HKS + Xpipe > Real HKS

:]

Where are all the X02 haters now haha.

 

Accord freak did you buy the exhaust new from an authorized HKS dealer? i don't think you would mislead us but that looks like the poorest quality welds I have ever seen.


all of the welds look they were done by an amature, i have seen real HKS parts bought from Authorized HKS dealers and all of the welds look like a robot did them not a welding student


Look at the welds around the H pipe those are not done by a professional but they do look similar to the ones on the passenger side where the repairs were made




Here is an authentic the welds look 100X cleaner



Even the knock off has better welds

 

i'll take a pic of the resonators of the Y pipe for EVERYBODY to see. it is an HKS man.

look at this post. the HKS shitty welds on the H pipe is on that one too. resonators are distinct. REAL. They also posted the fake one.

This guy said his looked the same only more centered. Just looks like bad quality control.

 

My guess is that unit had work on it before by a MIG. Welds on the better looking ones look like TIG

 

end of discussion whether this is real or fake

BAM

 

the pipes are MIG welded. GTM modded car. same type of welds. most of it are MIG welding on HKS exhausts for the 350z/g35:

Moving on... back on topic: brand name doesn't always mean quality.

 

lol.. post pic of the whole exhaust with mufflers then it's /thread ....LOL

 

another reason the ARK Grip is better than the original, LOL

 

you guys have to remember, the HKS is a tuned exhaust for sound, have you heard an HKS exhaust that was dented, sounds completely different

 

. One more company screwing us out of our hard earned dollars with poorly made junk

 

This is why I'm keeping my car as oem as possible!! Don't wanna junk up my car with poorly made parts..

 

Yeah same here. Most aftermarket companies don't fully research or engineer their parts...but they're quick to extend their hands when it comes to cash.
