Etching K S Inc. anyone know this company?

So the exhaust on my S13 has no branding on it, just the JASMA (japan auto sport muffler assoc.) badge on it w/ the 051 manufacturer number. This number correlates to Etching K S Inc.

I cannot find any info about this company, only thing i was able to find was from what other people have said on other forums. They said it was a race division of HKS.

Cannot find any company history by googling or anything. Does anyone here know about this company? when it existed? was it in fact HKS?

thanks

Etching: the act or process of making designs or pictures on a metal plate

I would guess that's just referring to where the badge thing was made.

Etching K S Inc. is HKS. That is just their Jasma registration trademark or whatever. It is a silly phonetic play on their name.


Etching-K-S Inc.

Etch-Inc-K-S.

Ech-K-S Inc.

H-K-S Inc.

HKS!


Maybe Jasma required them to have more than three letters or something.

i'm pretty sure etching k s is a phonetic name used for engrish translation of HKS. (though the need to translate an acronym in characters already understood in english is somewhat dubious.) maybe the reason your exhaust says "etching k s" is that it was probably marked for distribution to an english speaking market and they felt the description was necessary.

like essu essu earl for ssr. take a look at crooober, you'll see what i'm talking about. (roman characters) romaji japanese contains a lot of interesting surrogate words for sounds. they're adapting their language which uses a totally different system of characters meaning sound-syllables, to english - multiple letters making individual sounds, strung together to create syllables and words.
