anyone else think that he bought it from one of the other people on the forum who had the bad pipes? We could be looking at the same few bad sets of pipes?

The replica manufacturers used poor quality resonators and mufflers. Not to mention you have very little pressure equalization with a cross over roughly 1 in in diameter.

I think the fact that my mufflers cost more wholesale than your exhaust is shipped is enough said.

Excuse me Mr. HKS, sorry I cannot afford a $1200+ exhaust system like you.

Cost isn't always a sign of quality. As best examplified by the poor H design of the HKS here.

For that much money, I'd rather see a proper X pipe. Much better than a tube sticking 1/2 though both pipes.

Extremely surprised by these HKS exhausts, that can't even be described as poor craftsmanship or quality... that is just insane....
