So it's more the tips rusting and looking crappy, not being real Ti...that kind of stuff. In that it says to use to high temp clear coat to prolong the rusting. Would this be a good thing to do when first getting exhaust. I would think yes. So if that's the only issue then I'm about 95% set...still want to see the motordyne first...more so the price.

metal is not the same quality as the HKS...The tips rust as well as the rest of the exhaust (more so on salted roads)...Sounds different from the HKS...One
x02 exhaust i've seen had a brownish color to it. Fitment is not perfect like the HKS in some cases. But it does look like the HKS design wise and it is cheaper
so get whatever you want.

My tips didn't sit right and burned my bumper but that was due to a poor install by the shop... When the exhaust was put on garry101's G35 it fit perfectly.

Hmm, since you both had the sagging issues on the right and both had mild fitment issues, and I don't have the right side sag, I'll be less likely for fitment issues? I know I'm prob just wishing on this one. from the videos online I like the XO2 better even tho it's real close to HKS. The xo2 with stock cats sounds like hks with HFCs i think...atleast my ears get that.

However none of the existing exhausts really do anything other than sound, and the quality of the X02 look is even debatable because of those wack *** brown tips. For me, spending any amount for a bit of noise is just senseless.
