Carbon fiber hks maybe??? I just was in the market for a catback and ended up buying a megan and i have to say i would recommend it to anyone. It sounds awesome. But while i was searching i came across an hks or maybe an apexi cf that looked just like that one. Hope that helps

I haven't seen the engraving on other HKS exhausts. Do you have a picture as an example? And what is it exactly about the tip that is off?

It looks almost like it was wrapped after manufacturing. Could be something other than the HKS, and then wrapped post production. Just my $.02

it will have hks on the tip of the exhuast engraved or engraved on the body, that is a knock off version of the hks muffler. They still sound good but the packing is not very good which will make the car a tad louder.

I had a greddy before and it was engraved on the body of the muffler

It actually looks spot on with the HKS. I have to go back and look at it again to figure out what it is.
