because i have the CS exhaust. the hangers are the exact same hangers in the exact same place with that bolt sticking out. it even comes with 3" gaskets that came with mine with the same brass bolts. the piping reduces two 2 1/2" where the downpipe and the next section connect with a 2 1/2" main cat between them.

hmmmm maybe..... it doesnt have the CS badge on the side of the tip. maybe they do that before they send it to Corksport to make it theirs. would they use a different manufacturer's canister on theirs and make it their own? because they don't state that it is a 5 zigen canister on the site.

I have dealt with their customer service a few times, Basically the exhausts and all of their products are knock offs and are decent quality. S & S autochrome will make anything to your request. All you need to do is send them an original, and let them do the R&D on the part. If you look at their manifolds they are exhat knock offs of brand name units from Japan. The FC manifold is almost an exact knock-off of the HKS unit. I was going to send them a Nissan Skyline Stainless manifold for reproduction. The new price of the manifold is well over $1800, they were going to send 2 manifolds back for proper fitting, then allow me to be a reseller in Japan for them. They are a legit company, and they have the right to make the units, because although they look exactly like their expensive counterparts, they are modified somewhere so they are not an exact duplicate.

I called them once because they work out of morrisville, NC which is the exact town that I live in and they said that they are not a shop and their products can only be shipped out... no pick-ups accepted. They seem a little shady to me, but there's nothing wrong with making our parts market lower priced right?
