how do these attach onto the X02 exhaust. Aren't the tips held on via screws just like the HKS system? That would mean that you would have to have these welded onto your X02 exhaust, and they therefore would not be adjustable. Also, WTF is up with the holes? They are like the bad honda civic bumper hole cutout kits lol. They will definitely alter the sound of the exhaust as well. IMO purchasing the HKS exhaust is 1 the best, and if you want the HKS TI tips, buy the HKS tips, not some cheap ebay ones.
Sorry to sound negative, I just don't see this is a viable option for X02 owners.

The holes on the bottom are to attach them onto other exhaust tips. They serve a purpose and are not for looks. Hence they are on the bottom of the tips.
I think these are great. I'm going here first if and when I ever scrape my HKS tips. No way am I paying $200 for authentic HKS tips.

im planning to use propoxy 20, to fill the hole and maybe use it to bondin with the exhaust to replace all those drilling~~.....
