Indeed you are correct Gomez, good memory mate!

Yes, I bought my HKS Legamax catback from those guys.
Very pleasant to deal with, fast and well packed shipping to Sydney as well.

Their pricing is quite cheap as well, I could have got my exhaust from the Sydney distributor of HKS (BD4s), but Xspeed were hundreds of dollars cheaper.

I think they source their product range through Hong Kong or Singapore as opposed to dealing directly with the Australian distributors.

Maybe that might persuade a few more people to buy one, it really is a beautiful exhaust, both in quality and sound.

Even with 20% off, it's hard for most people to justify though..... you can still get two Hymee or two Ric Shaw systems for the same money.

Yes... Japanese Yen is 81 yen = 1 AUD at present.

Car mod is personal choice. So I am sure anything is worth its money.

I am sure you are proud of your exhaust nojooc!

I certainly am mate.
The amount of positive feedback I get from both enthusiasts and the general public have made the original price I paid for it well worth it.

Pretty sad that they dont have their own domain name.. One would think an extra 80bux on an Australian domain name would make them look heaps more professional.. If Nojooc did not buy anything from them i would think they are dodgy..

Oh the link supplied above was a sub domain to their host :D Still looks dodgy if your in the web hosting industry.

They are probably doing this to use dreamhost.com Secure Certificate
