Got it put on today and I love it, sounds awesome but holy hell is it loud, I'm going to order the magnaflo resonated x-pipe to tone it down a bit. The vids don't do it much justice it sounds much better and louder in person I was slightly shocked a how loud it is, but that will be remedied with the resonated x-pipe. Fitment was pretty good but that's due to having a good shop put it on, they spent about an hour getting it to line up almost perfectly maybe like 1/4" off.

congrats, hopefully I get mine on Monday. I have the box in the hallway haha how does it look overall? tips look okay?
Tips looked ok, nothing special, but they got bent in shipment and the shop had to use their pipe expander to get them back into shape, but I ended up putting them on backwards because it was a little too tucked in for my liking and didn't want to risk melting my bumper.

dang thats expensive but you get what you pay for with just 1/4 off. Cool
let me know how it goes when you install the magnaflow x-pipe, I'll know by Monday haha.

DIY, I did it with mine. Was a pain without a lift and only with 2 jacks but well worth it. As far as the tips being too close you can either just have a shop bend the hangers a bit or if you search there is a washer trick I think used on an HKS to lower it more. I haven't gotten a x-pipe yet so I have no clue if that just bolts up perfectly or if work needs to be done...
I did a full honest review on HKS and the replicas since I've owned and ran both..
HKS is better but anyone who bashes the replica is a dumbass.. Fraction of the price>bigger piping>makes more power>****ty tips..
Proof.
