Name that DP

So, all this time I have thought that I have had an HKS dp on my car. It was brought to my attention that it most likely isnt one. Doesnt matter much to me because it worked just fine and I got a good deal on it from somebody on the forum. Well im trying to sell it, and i have no idea what it is. If anybody can identify this it would be great...

Honestly guys im the one trying to buy it off him. And it wasnt because i dont trust him when he said its an HKS dp but i never seen a DP that looks like that. I just wanted to confirm to prevent any headaches later on like returning, then all this jazz etc etc.

So better i know for sure now so the transaction would be smooth.

HKS DPs look wierd like because it makes them easiar to put on, atleast thats what Ive heard. I also heard they may not flow quite as well because of that but honestly I doubt its any sort of measurable difference.

From expirience with it, I like the HKs because it is way easier to install. Also, atleast here in SoCal, smog inspector will think it is a OEM pipe.

HKS.... The weird flat shape is not for easy installation... It's like that to accommodate the right hand drive stearing mechinisms on JDM FD's...
