Man you guys are harsh. The tuning market wouldn't be what it is today without the likes of Greddy, HKS, etc. etc. Over 7-10 years ago, how many tuners were here in America producing their own parts? Not many that's for damn sure. And for the one's starting up who do you think they were following? If there are tuning companies synonymous with Japanese cars...it's HKS, Greddy/Trust, Blitz. Those are the tuning companies I grew up with way before the advent of American import tuners. So please have some respect.

unfortunately i'd be inclined to agree.
i have the Ti-C catback and all piping besides the titanium muffler portion is RUSTING to HELL. just figured it out when my car was up on evo8dad's lift a few weeks ago.
"stainless steel" my ***! so disappointing. i love the exhaust besides that major issue.

I hope HKS is doing well, and in no danger of going belly up.
no need to worry

Some harsh words on this topic. I grew up on companies like Greddy and HKS, etc., they made out scene what it is today. We were all dying for their parts back in the days, so no reason for anyone to bad mouth them. They paved the way for alot of the smaller, more specialized companies that we know of today. I bet any of the know vendors on this forums would vouch for these guys back in the day.
