Ridiculous price on HKS exhaust copies (aka Japspeed K4)
Snjur replied to Aashenfox's topic in Spotted on Ebay or Other
No i got Y piece from Japspeed, center piece and rear catback's. So once I started assembling all from oem CAT'S to end I was left with this piece extra. It was 3 years ago so I forgot exactly but I reckon it was ment to be used on few models or cars maybe Infinity or something that's why that extra Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -

I think you are going to have some extra parts as well. I still have some on my loft. It is some middle section Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -
Low boost and supercharger DO go together , the Stillen kit on the 370z only gives around 8psi at max rpm, up to about 5000rpm its barely making 5 psi I might have typed my sentence wrong I didn't ment on low boost but torque on low rpm. Hard to expect from SC big grunt of torque from bottom Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Low boost and supercharger don't go together. Supercharger is close to NA in terms of power delivery. If you want grunt from low rpm than turbo is way to go. But again lot of torque from basement is only good for wheel spin Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

I have no idea... It that kind of thing where money is no issue. Even here in Croatia we a guy named Milletech has a FB page as well. https://www.facebook.com/Milletechnology/ Awsome production, materials and so. But price I dare to say like Akrapovic. And than people ask me when I was doing my exhaust why I haven't done it at Mille. Simply I can't justify that amount of money for exhaust. This custom made replica in terms of price/quality/warranty was best value for money. Yes Akrapovic or Mille would have fancy name tag but still.... Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -

As for Akrapovic I agree. Since I'm from Croatia and Slovenia and Akrapovic is our neighbor I remember the days when he was just a small production in garage under name of Scorpion. How he manage to launch it self out of space I have no clue. Latest X6M fellow I know payed on discount since it was first ever mounted exhaust on X6M 8000 euros. On discount!! Full price was near 11 000 euros. Ridiculous Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -

I had 2 from e bay and quality was not to so good and shape was bit wavish. Carbon layout was disaster. Ended buying one overseas in CZP and the quality was really good Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Anyway since it is for waste I can even open the mufflers and picture it after 1.5 or max 2 years of use. Again it is still usable exhaust but... Flexible parts are due to change and is asking repairs Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -

Most of the items are made overseas in China. Again depends what you say quality control and materials. I'm talking from my experience with K4 Jaspeed. For most of people is imortant is ridiculous loud and cheap. OK for that. I have a twin turbo set up and simple I won't risk any issues over items that can in end cost me double. Before going twin turbo exhaust was down and flexible joints where already worn out. They as well should be replaced. So original price I payed was I don't remember I think 550 euros, first repair cost was 70 euros, again flexible parts if I was going to repair would be 100 to 150 euros. This is already 770 euros in total. Repair shop told me as well next time there is nothing more to repair inside car back as it is completely burned out and is not worth money labour. For 1000 euros I got custom made Invidia Gemini replica of perfect fitment, excellent quality build and 3 years warranty. Mine didn't have cracks on outside but X pipe joint splited and was welded plus rear muffler cat back was deteriorating from inside. And this was on NA car. Left side one. Buddy's Invidia has 4 or 5 years in FI car where temperatures are a lot bigger than on NA. As far as price/quality I think Invidia is best buy. I reckon if Akrapovic was making exhaust for 350z I wouldn't be less than 3500 euros. While Invidia depends of place and if sales you can get for 1000 euros Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -

Sure I agree on that as well. I have witnessed original Invidia Gemini after 4 or 5 years of use on FI 350Z and it looks grate. Owner says even sound hasn't changed a lot. Which was a case when I need exhaust so I decided to stretch my budget a bit and made a quality custom made exhaust rather than change exhaust every year and half what I had experience with cheaper ones.

I can picture up mine as I haven't trash it yet. Car was driven in salt free area so you will get idea how it looks after a year and half of use and looks for good for waste. Plus it was already repaired. Maybe they changed quality since 2009 as my was bought in 2014 Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -

You get what you pay for. I got my Japspeed K4 from UK ebay. When it comes it nice and shiney. Fitment is not perfect bit it can manage. But after a let say a year of time you will get idea why it cost 350 GBP. I had it on my NA vq35de with Invida decats. Car was custom tuned. Already before a year of owning it, rear mufflers had to be opened and welded due to ratling noise which was caused by deterioration of material inside. It lasted bit more and again same problem. Quality of stainless steel used in it is very poor. If you are after a exhaust system which is loud and cheap than is good choice. But on long run if will cost you more than if you go with something like Invidia Gemini Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk -
Have you played with throttle flap? If so that could be reason. If you don't have diagnostic tool on hand you can do a throttle calibration by yourself to eliminate that Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

You can find on Google depending which one you are after. I know originally I was pouring in DE around 4.5 liters of oil. Later on I fit spacer for oil pan which increased capacity do 6 liters and on the end I fitted Greddy pan plus larger oil filter and oil cooler so I'm now around 7.5 liter of oil Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
