Ordered new exhaust. Couple Questions..

Just bought Skyline Z33 dual catback exhuast. Looks and sounds great and the price was right so I went for it.

I have the Kinetix plenum put on and was wondering how much HP increase I should expect from these 2 mods, I heard they work nice together.

Also, it says direct bolt on easy installation, but Ive heard some run into welding and moving things around. Should I expect to run into an issues?

Thanks guys.

with z-tube, pop charger, headers, plenum spacer, hfc cats (or test pipes), and exhaust... you can expect around 20-30whp more depends sometimes u might not even see close to 20 more hp

GOOD LUCK!

If I remember correctly, it is something similar to the Xo2 (HKS Knockoff)

a z33 is a 350z...so sounds like you might have bought an exhaust made for a Z?

There you can view a lot of pictures and tell me what you think...

Looks pretty legit to me and I found a sound clip and its deep but sporty which is exactly what im looking for.

And yeah I heard its similar to the Xo2 and HKS models.

Just got that Skyline exhaust installed today and it is LEGITTTT.
Highl recommend this exhaust to anyone who doesnt want to pay a grand for thier kit. Sounds amazing and can feel the performance throughout most the rpms. Looks just as good, if not better than HKS, Greddy, Stillen, ect.

Someone post if you have bought or are looking into this. Smart way to go...

Those tips look just like the X02, I'm pretty sure this is just the X02 exhaust under a different name. A ton of people have it here, some are happy with theirs, some aren't. All depends on what you're looking for in an exhaust, but if you are happy with it then that's all that matters.
