I had to cut the HKS Y pipe to modify something and this is what it looks like:

quality stuff..............




here's a picture of what it was BEFORE i hacked it up and received from the seller.

As you can see. the only part NOT original was the Y pipe part. (obvious)

 

 

wow... for hks this is really half-assed, did some sell you a fake?

 

Talk about a restriction. Not what I'd expect from a $1500 exhaust.

Here's the knock-off's h-pipe. Also useless.

 

-nah mine is the real deal. it has the welded end caps.

- the knock off at least doesn't have half the airflow blocked off lol

 

Makes me wonder if the side branch resonators are also the same way.

IMHO, it's just an h-pipe and any quality muffler shop can make a new proper h-pipe. It sucks considering the price of the exhaust, but it's an easy, cheap fix.

 

wow!

 

That is VERY surprising...I'm not quite sure how useful that H-pipe will be with such turbulance...

 

Wasn't what I was expecting, quite disappointing.

 

Good stuff

 

So have you sent HKS this pic yet?

:-)

 

wow i have a hks now i know why my car is so slow lol

 

wow that is just terrible..

 

So why does this exhaust cost $1500.....

 

freal HKS?
