Its a replica of the HKS hi-power whih costs about $1500, selling for $388, do think its worth it interms of value over price difference to the original? From the coments i read it seems pretty good.
HKS hi-power replica for G35/350Z
I am not a big believer in Replica's and feel a bit more satisfied and comfortable when I no it's real. IMHO, I cant justify spending $1500 on a exhaust and if you think about it, it's only a straight piece of pipe that you could prob get made at a place like FOX or something if you gave them the design!!...
I think it would be better to save up that money and buy the original thing!!!..good luck..

It costs $1500 due to the fact that the spend time developing and tuning the exhaust.
Also the workmanship and material used will be for reliability and availability.
In the case of latter,
They just copied what ever and the exhaust might look the same.
The performance cant be guaranteed.
The quality, reliability and availability might not be there at all.
Its like a taking a chance... you can get and see for yourself... Coz noone, not me not anyone else here can really talk about the quality.
The sound will change over time.
The welds could break over time.
The fitting could be troublesome.
The whole thing could rust if its aint pure stainless steel.
I have atleast 12 years experience with custom exhausts...
If you know about exhausts, do as tamu advised. Get something build custom.

tamy what makes you think fox would do it any cheaper than $1500? I asked already. FOXs quality is suck as well, even the replica is probably better, not sure what ssteel fox uses, not sure its sus304, is it cnc machined? mandrill bent? the replica is, so it might as well be better than what you can get here to be honest.

its called XO@ exhuast and they sell it for 850 shipped to any place in teh state.. stay away from it.. alot of ppl buy it and then sell it after sometime.. it gets really loud to the extent that u wont stand it.
its up to you.. HKS FTMW
it'll cost about 3000 dhs shipped, if greddy from intraco costs same or less (which i think does as their website says) then i'll go for greddy, but as of now 9000 dhs for HKS (performance price) is ridiculous, and 6000+ custom exhaust from FOX is not trustworthy.
hks product usually expensive , try other !! 9k sound like a titanium header back one piece exhaust !!(very loud , think twin before you go for this , you have no chance to get away from the police with this )
any steeless steel should cost you 1000us less.
