    judging by the inferior welds on the inside of where the pipes meet the man-fold, id say fakies, but then again the HKS symbol printed on the other side of the Tranny Manny, looks legit, ''''''''bid and see

    if you look closely the welds are actually quite good on the inside, looks to be fine tig work that has been gently ground back and coated. tacks on the outside benifit from not warping and creating a pulling match on the flange between the inside and outside welds,

    inside welds benifit flow, outside welds benifit looks.
    Rest of the y pipes etc look very well made. Doesnt look dodgey to me.

    On ebay, people with good feedback, usually are not dodgey, as beally said it looks to be fairly well made, and he has genuine HKS gear like the multiplate clutch and mushroom filters
