Hello im new just got my first car its a 03 g35 coupe blue. I researched quite a bit before posting and i love the hks exhaust but way too much, but i found the same exhaust on ebay made by a brand kcr thats a importer, i called the place that had it and said its very comparable to the hks it looks the same it comes with a h pipe also, killer deal but is the exhaust good, would you trust it, its from a ligitiment performance place and has a good ebay rating. I call dibs on it if someone sees it and wants it lol, tell me what you think

thats the XO2 exhuast. if you search that youll get your answers. exhaust dosent sound like the hks from what i heard and the ti burnt tips are ****ty compared to the hks. u can find someone selling it in the marketplace for like 250+. if your on a budget id atleast get a used injen exhaust for about 500.

 

Go on YouTube and search X02, you will find sound clips there. If you live where things don't rust fast is is a good deal or so I hear.

 

Is there a difference with this exhaust and the one yourconsidering im in the same boat as you

and is that a XO too?

 

Yeah, that is the same exhaust.

 

I actually have a very similar exhaust that I bought off ebay. Fitment was fantastic and all the stainless was of very good quality. I was very impressed for how little it cost.

I have not heard any other exhausts in person, so I have nothing to compare it to... but I think it's got a decent tone. A tad raspy at higher RPM, but quiet at idle... and a slight drone at 2k.

My overall opinion is this: It is a great deal for little money and the butt dyno says it picked up some. Here are my opinions on ratings:

Value: 10
Quality: 9 (so far... only been on for 1k miles)
Fitment: 9
Sound: 6

I refuse to pay 1200-1400 for a catback exhaust. Especially when you have almost the exact same thing here for 1/4 the cost. These cheaper exhaust systems just prove (IMO) that you are only paying for the name of the more expensive ones. If you want a different sound, change the muffler or resonator.... and that isnt gonna cost an extra 900 bucks. The quality of the kit I got was very good with polished SS.

Well I've said enough.... sorry for the rant, just trying to give an honest feedback.
