K2 Motor?

Anyone use this exhaust before or have experience with this company? The price is really good but not sure if its worth waiting and saving for a nicer one.

Save for a nicer one, unless you have desposeable income to buy another catback for several hundred if this doesn't fit or whatever reason than go ahead.

That catback looks oddly familiar. Regardless, I'd save for a nicer one from a known company. Nothing worse than having to respend money on something when you get a poor quality product that ends up rusting/fitting poorly/failing shortly after you purchase it.

The way I see it, even a cheap item is worth trying if it is an original design. I keep walking when it comes to blatant copies of items that aren't 1%-super-rich-people-only material.

This N1 knock off goes under quite a few names, however its the only one that has that off looking split piece welded where the duals split off.

I've seen 2 videos on youtube and they surprisingly sound really good from what I can tell in the videos, damn near exact to the N1..

With that being said.. I may personally just get the N1 for a few hundred more just to avoid fitment issues (however I dont know if their are any with this particular exhaust)
