danners546 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I'd love to say I have £1,200 behind the sofa for a genuine hks duel exhaust but as I also need to pay rent so looking at these.. has anyone ever had one and what's peoples thoughts?? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item484dba873c Quote
StevoD Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Never heard of it but if you really want that style and are on a budget look at the japspeed k4 Quote
GIXXERUK Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 tbh, spending that sort of cash I would rather have a cobra or push it a bit and get an invidia (or wait for a 2nd hand unit) 2 Quote
Floydbax Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201178065292?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&autorefresh=true Check the link (hope it works) the same system on bid. If you read the text further down Top Gear are interested in feedback so it might be worth dropping them an email to see if you can come to an 'arrangement' Quote
danners546 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 japspeed k4 looks alright but i am assuming the low price means a lack in quality Quote
StevoD Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 japspeed k4 looks alright but i am assuming the low price means a lack in quality there not the favorites for quality Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I ran one on my 350GT there are a lot of similar HKS copies about, but I suspect they are all pretty similar, performance wise if your intending to decat they are very noisy, and I think you will lose a bit of low down torque without a remap, but with the cats still in they are a nice sound.

danners546 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 tbh I'm also looking at a set of high flow cats Quote
Martinjj Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 You may have just missed out on a low mileage Invidia True Duel with Berks HFC's.. that one of the forum guys was selling (actually he doesn't say its sold so it may be worth pm'ing him if you have the cash handy, Wanting £925 and for an Invidia with Berks its a steal and one of the best sounds you will get for a 350z.. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/91025-true-dual-invidia-rolled-tips-exhaust-system-with-berks/ Im not one to guide you on how to spend your money, its your choice, but as GIXXERUK says....... tbh, spending that sort of cash I would rather have a cobra or push it a bit and get an invidia (or wait for a 2nd hand unit) seems a more sensible path to take. 1 Quote
johnny cobra Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I have an HKS lookalike system with cats Bloody awesome sound .... JC.. 1 Quote

These are a decent product not the 'allegedly' shite Japspeed items. 1 Quote
danners546 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 awesome! there deport is a 40 min drive and said i can pop in and they will sort somthing out for me Quote
tatooandy67 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 ^^^ result then, look forward to hearing it if you go for it Quote
brillomaster Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 have you considered a buddyclub system? similar price to the first linked exhaust above. Quote
Adem Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I think Jap Speed get a bad rep. I just fitted a japspeed back box to mine, it wasnt a "good" fit to be fair but in my experience aftermarket stuff rarely is. The welds are good though and I'd go as far as to say it has a slightly better tone to the OEM exhaust. At £199. Not the best quality product availible I'm sure, but all in all, good value for money I'd say! Thats just me though. Quote
-Bradders- Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I fitted a japspeed to mine recently, the fitment was poor as it slanted but all it took was a bit of bending on the hanger for it to sit right, other than that, had nothing but compliments on the sound! 2 Quote
