advice on buying a xo2 exhuast

You will definitely notice the loud in cabin noise but IMO and in most other's opinion, it sounds better than the HKS. Again, the biggest con is that it is quite loud. Also, the burnt tips look like trash and rust. I bought some burnt titanium tips from ebay but Motordyne is best quality for a few more bucks. Link here

Pros: looks great (after getting some quality tips) and sounds good. I get compliments constantly.

Keep in mind "You get what you pay for!" That rule has never let anyone down that I know of. You want a great sound/exhaust save your $$ and buy a MotorDyne system. You won't ever be sorry and you won't be wasting you cash on cheap copy junk!

How much are you getting the used Xo2? Have you heard it before? I have same m2 exhaust (same as x02 under a different name), as Charles said its very loud in the cabin, some people get annoyed by it and add a X pipe, but some leave it as it is. I didn't mind the noise and just left it as it is; I actually enjoyed hearing it
Pros: You get a fairly good exhaust (though a replica) at a lower price then in comparison to other brand name exhausts out there. It sounds really nice, and I've gotten compliments from several people. For me when I swapped out my OEM exhaust and put the m2(xo2) on, I felt gains over stock.
Cons: As Charles said, the tips are disgusting. The shine and color of the tips change very fast. Mines were shinny the first couple of weeks, and now the tips look dull and the shine is gone. However, this is all just cosmetic stuff that doesn't effect the overall functionality of the exhaust. The fitment of the exhaust also is a problem. The exhaust wasn't straight when I installed it and it burnt the right side of my rear bumper until I had it fixed.
Overall: Good exhaust for the price. Depending on how much your getting for a used one, a new one costs roughly around 350-400 in the market place I think. Definitely give the x02 a consider if your looking to save some cash for other mods like I did. Good luck

My xo2 is totally fine. Fitment was horrible on the passenger side tip, but I took it to a shop and they lined up the whole exhaust for me for $45. In-cabin sounds ricey, but outside it sounds extremely deep with that feint warble of the VQ. I've had the exhaust for roughly 6 months and my tips look totally fine. Overall it's a great bang for the buck, sounds great (to people outside), and you can scrape it all day with no worry in the world.

the x pipe will help
the tips that it comes with are just stainless steel and will look green and ugly later. go and buy top speed pro1 exhaust tips ( real titanium for about 100) and you should be good to go or go hks tips for (150-200).
but you do get what you pay for, i've been through alot of the exhaust made for the G and money makes a big difference on the quality of the exhaust
