Can get a nice catted bellmouthed with splitter in it made by HKS.

Had one on my Foz and it's currently sitting in storage.

This is a catback system. HKS front pipe is sold seperately.

Difference in quality?

1) Welding marks say it all. You just cannot compare Chinese made sweat shop exhausts with proper HKS stuff.

2) Exhaust all are JASMA approved. Exhaust is tuned for power and note. Which means the noise level is low, although it is a 3" system.
At idle, no cop will even look at ya! Noise get's louder on acceleration only but still under legal DBs.

Would have to compare them side by side to tell the quality differences but with big companies like that the quality is usually of very high standard.

The factory I get mine from makes quite a few systems for Jap companies so it's definitely not a cheap crappy Chinese knock off system.
