I was checking out ebay and I found a hks "super racing catback" starting at $150. Is this a good deal or is it junk? Does anyone knows anything about this system? The sound, the power, etc.... It also says the the value is $1000.
Here is the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2437089926

 

Must be a gimmick....

 

if im not mistaken, i think that's a Pacesetter exhaust. you can tell b/c of Pacesetter's "theme" of everything black with a nastey yellow tip

 

THAT is not a HKS. That's pacesetter, which is made of cheap metal and painted black to cover up the rust that will occur. DO NOT BUY THIS EXHAUST.

 

Ditto, you can see the yellow on the inside of the tip. Definatly pacesetter. Also, Look how its all one piece. It also states already welded. That will be one fun install.

 

If I did my research correctly, HKS only made axelbacks for 4th gens, and even then, people reported a loss in power over the stock exhaust. With that said, if they made a copy of that exhaust, i wouldnt expect much.

I'd get it only if the funds were low and i had a huge hole in my exhaust with a shorttime before my next annual emissions inspection. ( on leap year, after a stampede of wild elephants and a zebra ) :P

 

axle-back = muffler + very short pipe that bolts onto a b-pipe. This isn't the same as a catback...

 

If you want a real exhaust or power parts:

I totally agree on this comment, someone is out there ripping people off on fake name exhaust. I don't even think that HKS makes exhaust for the maxima.
