How about this. Why it´s so cheap? Is it a real HKS?

For the second one its at 65 bucks because it still has 8 days. it wont stay that low. Only one person has bid on it and he probably started the auction at a low price. Ill bet it will go for 200 or more by the time its 8 days are up.

no...go to HKSUSA.com and you will see that there are diff part numbers...I dont think that this will clear the LIM on a FC when the turbo is on the manifold

It seems to be made of all steel and he claims it is from hks. I have never seen the old hks kit but if it is hks you bet its a great product( I have yet to see a bad hks manifold or exhaust. The welds look clean on the outside but you never know because those can be grinded down. The problem most people have with the ss cheap one is that the flanges and manifold itself are made of different materials and expand at different rates(causing cracks) . Plus some of the holes are sometimes not identical.

hks one....not to sure. big turbo sais the welds look good....but i very much disagree. the welds on the pipes dont look that bad...but everything else in my opinion is not hks quality. 5th pic...the beads look to far apart like freekin fish scales and dont seem to have welded to the pipe that well. doesnt it look like it was sandblasted or something too? like on the flange there might of been corrosion and they sand blasted it making it have that in-roughness. maybe its just me. last pic...holy crap...terrible. that may have been what they were talking about needing weld touch up...because they did it? y would they need to weld anything there anyways? def not hks stuff there. anyways...just my thoughts...have no real clue for sure whether its really hks or not
