^^^I understand that it's dirty in the picture, but you can see that the adjustment on the tips isn't enough...and it just doesn't shine like HKS...that's how the tips have looked every time I've seen this exhaust (in person and in picture, clean and dirty). They're always dull.

^^^note how tucked the tips are. Sure, you can pull them off and elongate the holes...or you can get HKS and not have to worry about that.

^^^I'll admit, the tips actually look pretty good in that picture. The best I've seen thus far. But still not as good as HKS Ti Tips.

Sam knows what's good. I know he misses his HKS + FI Test Pipes. It's a shame you're letting them go, man!

Like I said before, it's your car. You decide what you want to put on your car.

 

If these are made overseas like a lot of knock-offs, they will disappear after they made a good profit and so will any warranty. It's your dime and your risk.

 

fast intentions FTW!!!!

 

+1,000,000,000!!!! I couldn't have said it better myself.

 

I seriously hope that you are trying to be sarcastic.

Sorry if people with the Xo2 exhaust get offended but it is a piece of crap compared to the real HKS. But like many have said, if you want to put cheap knockoff **** on your ride, more power to you.

 

tell me what the FACTUAL difference between the two exhausts, if there is/are any?? thanks.

 

It's mostly in the build quality, and material quality. The HKS is clearly made to much higher tolerances, and uses higher quality materials (not just the titanium). If you look at the polish job, the HKS just looks cleaner.

Using the XO2 exhaust is like using tin foil as an intake heat shield. Sure, it's aluminum, but it's crap. The XO2 just doesn't look like it'll hold up as nicely as the HKS.


BTW: I'm getting the FI Exhaust.

 

Have you seen both exhausts side by side?? If you haven't, do so and come back and tell me what you think. That's all you have to do and unless you want some cheap POS on your car (or you yourself are just cheap), you will never consider Xo2. It's not even close man. Like I said, sorry if I hurt your feelings but sometimes the truth hurts.

 

 

thanks for the FACTUAL info unlucky charms. did you get this information directly from HKS??? or did you LOOK it up???

 

oh yes, it hurts me a lot because you dont agree with me. I just don't spend all my paycheck on my car like you do. nice car BTW.

 

I get the info from the people who bought the XO2, and said it was made like crap, and has major fitment issues; for some people that works, because they care more about money than a quality product.

Sure, with HKS you're paying for the brand somewhat. But if you're not a dimwit, you can tell the difference in build quality and attention to detail just by looking at the damn things.

Be cheap if you want to, we won't stop you. But if you're gonna do that, go buy a 92 Civic hatch, so you can at least justify buying knockoff crap for it. I'm ALL about doing things at the lowest possible cost, but maintaining high quality. I'm also one of the first to get pissed at the "high and mighty" people who think the G is right up there with Rolls and Bentleys, in terms of luxury status. It's not, but why buy something that will turn to crap in a couple years? If you want to do that, go buy a Civic or a Camaro.

 

bacause you have such a high status, i'll go buy a civic or camaro... is the IROC Camero better than Z28??? or vice versa??? thanks!

 

haha!! Don't worry about my paycheck bro. I make more than enough to live comfortably and build up my car without having to put cheap **** on it. Thanks for your concern though.

 

so i guess you have money set aside for your busted supercharger???

VERY NICE!!!!
