Can anybody identify this exhaust? No writing on it that I can find.

looks like the CNT racing exhaust http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...-included.html

Not CNT. The braces on the mid pipe are completely different and CNT only comes with SS tips (I have CNT at the moment.) Its the Top speed true dual exhaust.

didnt know there was more than one exhaust with those configurations.

Yup. All HKS replicas. None of them sound as good as the REAL HKS but for the price, semi justifiable lol. The grenades on the rear mufflers is copied by many.

LMAO, I assume that you saw/heard this car and stuck your phone underneath it to snap pics... and that's REALLY funny!!!

Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the info. I have $500 knock offs.. they sound ok and I'm not concerned with gains so much as sound. Considering Borla since I put them on a vette years ago and loved them. Yeah.. the z won't sound like the vette... I know.

:icon18: that's wat i was thinking too. wtf are you doing under people's cars taking picts? lol

Nope... I bought this last week and thought it had aftermarket on it but didn't know what it was. Dealer had no idea of any mods... didn't even know it had sport pkg.

oh i c. :tup:

As great as Borla sounds on V8's. I don't think Borla does the Z any justice. Just my :twocents:

And it's difficult to decide via youtube clips which one sounds best to my liking... and nobody has a z around here so basically relying on anecdotal evidence of others aka rolling the dice. bloody hell

Hey whatta you doing under my car? "Oh just takin pics of your exhaust." Huh?:gtfo2:

Lmfao!

I love the ARK exhaust personally but its all about what you are looking for. Motordyne sounds great or if sound is all you want, look into the AAM short tails if you don't plan on doing HFCs or test pipes. I only say that cause that sucker gets stupid loud lol.

If you like Borla, you'll love Bassani. Sadly, they never went into production with their prototype. :(

As far as ident, def looks like a random hks replica to me.

How are you able tell that it's a replica of the HKS? I have an HKS exhaust and my first impression from the picture was that it was an HKS exhaust. I couldn't tell.

What attributes are you looking for from an exhaust?

:bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl::roflpuke2:

I agree. It's hard to tell. I could tell the differences between HKS and its replica Xo2 for g35 coupe from their tips. Definitely they are different qualities. But there are too many HKS knockoffs for the 370z and it's hard to tell...

OP, if it's autheticate HKS Hi-power, congrats! It's a $1500 exhaust system and one of the best looking/sounding exhaust out there.:tup:

Sound clip would honestly clear it up. Authentic HKS sounds REAL smooth and Subtle. Top Speed is loud and aggressive.

I took her to dmv for inspection and one of the guys asked what kind of exhaust I had because he really liked the sound... not sure I replied. I'll get a sound clip and post. Maybe I'll keep it. When everybody tells you your girlfriend is hot an you think she's just ok.. you tend to start thinking she might be hot after all?

I like a va va va va va voom in a low baritone. :driving:

I checked out an hks clip and mine sounds the same... hmmmm?

Damn! Shouldn't have told you it's the HKS Hi-power. Otherwise I might be able to grab it from you for 500 bucks.:icon17:

Just because it was bothering of how the Topspeed Pro1 and the HKS looked so damn similiar.....I finally found a way to tell the difference lol. Sorry for my OCD as this may have already been solved. HKS Exhaust has these brackets on the grenades on the mufflers to help support them to keep them from cracking. I circled them in red. The Top Speed Pro1 exhaust does not.

Just to help anyone else who was interested or possibly the same dilemma in the future.

Crap!

Replica or not it sounds pretty decent. Not sure what makes the HKS so much better... it's metal tubes and cans stuck together?

HKS is a reputable named brand in Japan just like Amuse or Mine's. The HKS Hi-Power doesn't necessary gain much power(just like other aftermarket exhaust systems), but the quality is top notch. No fitment and rust issues compare to its knock-offs. and I love the sound and the look of the exhaust.:tup:

That is an hks. I have the top speed true dual with burnt tips and it has those brackets. Also the mid section where the resonators are is different than the top speed because the top speed has more of an x pipe like the ark exhaust and the hks has more of an h pipe. Also the top speed has a screw and bolt at the bottom of the tip where you can adjust it where the hks has it on the sides.

Definitely an original HKS. Congratulations! You can tell from the removeable tips with side bolts.

Just bought this and not sure about it. I had HKS before on my G and the "Y-pipe looked nothing like this and had resonators, however the "grenades" look legit.

That HKS looks legit. The 2 piece Y pipe is the newest revised version from HKS. If you bought it new, it also should have sticker on each pipe that says "Passed inspections" in Japanese as well as some iron marks on the pipes.

Edit: Here is mine for your reference.

Took a second look, it seems the mid pipes which have the resonators doesn't in the picture. Instead you have long tube headers.

Right, I had all that stuff shipped and had my buddy take pictures for me, since I am not at home. but I do have the resonator mid-pipes... Thanks for the quick look dude!!!

Thanks, We now have them in stock.
