That exh is made to fit both the Z and the G. The short pipes are for the 6" longer wheel base on the G.

this does fit both. The best way to tell is the tips. If it is a knock off the tips will lose the blue in a very short time, they are just anodized. The real one is acculy a burnt tip. the blue will stay on.

The real HKS would have it's logo on the exhaust. And as for the short pipes, those are little extenders so that it would fit the G.

Looks just like the HKS High Power to me...

Double check for that HKS symbol that WILL be on there somewhere if its genuine.

If I recall on mine, it does not say HKS anywhere on the exhaust. Mine also did not come with pipe extensions BUT it did come with an H-pipe.
