Help identify if this is a real HKS exhaust
Purchased this thinking it was the real deal, sent photos to hks customer support and they cant even give me a solid answer. Im sure lots of you have experience with this. Seems quality made to me, but then again replicas have gotten very nice. On to the pics

I'm going to say fake but have no evidence of that. I didn't see any HKS branding on it....is there any? Also the brackets between the resonators look to be welded by a high school shop student. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

Shoulda bought new i guess.

Yea its not a big deal, just was curious if I got a steal on an hks haha.

Appears to be a rep to me. HKS has more rounded caps in the little drone eliminator off the muffler, rounded ends on the resonators in the mid pipe, as well as only 2 holes in the tip. Looks like the shitty eBay rep I have on my car lol

plus hks has a h-pipe. Which is a single cross over between the two resnators that make up the y pipe

It's absolutely a replica. I have a replica and am very familiar with spotting a fake. As mentioned above, the end caps of the side branch resonators on the rear sections are more rounded on the actual HKS version. You can see the difference in the pictures of this thread for a real HKS exhaust:https://g35driver.com/forums/engine-...k-exhaust.html
