I just saw this on a G35 forum. This is a picture of the hks G35 exhaust h pipe. Check out the fail welding. This can't be good for flow.

The G37 hks exhaust has a similar h pipe. Has anyone taken a close look inside?

 

Whoa, no good!

 

That is crappy.

Good thing for our forum. A great way to stay informed and to keep manufacturers somewhat accountable.

I wouldn't buy a HKS after seeing that.

 

Yeah that cant be good.

 

another question is how long had that guy had the exhaust for? in a way it look very beat up. i'm running their exhaust also and the last time i looked under there it's still in pretty decent condition. all my exhaust's welds still look good.

 

I thought you were stock??? lol

 

^ LOL...

I don't think thats real... Sorry, HKS has been in business for a long time and is one of the top names in the industry. WTF... This just doesn't seem believable to me.

 

Ummmm I don't get it.....

 

That is not genuine HKS

 

+1

....

 

It is genuine hks.. This is not the first time someone has replaced the h-pipe with a x and found this ..

 

wow !! where is HKS quailiti ?

 

That is genuine hks. In fact, the fake hks exhaust did a better job with the h pipe welding. You can read about all the details here:

A look inside of an HKS H-pipe- picture - G35Driver

The forum members emailed hks, to which they responded with a generic email saying they should send it in and hks will decide if it is warranty worthy.

So I just wanted to see if any of our hks owners took a look inside the h pipe. If our exhaust is like that too, then we should all start a complaint.

 

Not surprised. I was considering HKS exhaust for my G, until I had a 'less than desireable' experience with HKS USA regarding one of their products that I already purchased. That product will be the last HKS product I'll own.

 

Hks is so detached from their customer base it's not funny. You could comPlain all u want about the exhaust it won't change. There is way better exhaust you can buy for alot less.. Hks exhaust is a fail.their other products are good though..
