they look real with the holographic logo.

They do look real enough, its not easy to tell by pictures. As long as it does the job thats the main thing, any reviews on there. Also watchout for import changers.

That will be fake for that money!

HKS website has a whole section on fake items which are very hard to tell apart from the real thing, also lists approved retailers.

Stay clear IMO of this one.

Definately fake. Pay the right money and get a genuine one. Fake ones no good for your engine, dont work as well.

mcfc11 07 July 2011 02:41 PM

thanks guys,

yea will get a genuine one as i think i sort of answered my own question due to the fact there from china, DOA!!!!

also anyone got a link please for the fitting kit for an my99 uk 2000 wagon as i have a standard valve at the mo and will need the fitting kit when i get the hks.

thanks.

Id say it was fake, the genuine 1s i think have a vac pipe with a bit thicker end to stop the pipe blowing off and the 1 in the pics dont show it.
