After reading a lot of threads I have narrowed it down to these 4..

Everyone loves the HKS/FI...read that if I am going to get the HKS get XO2 as they are similar and the XO2 is cheaper...

There were a couple of threads about Bassini sounding good but not getting the attention that FI/HKS is getting..any input?

Thanks!

 

All of these systems are around a grand..cheapest I found the Bassani is $920 shipped...

 

XO2 is NOT a grand... I've seen them go for <$500 new. But with that said, you get what you pay for.

 

True...I think they are around $600 for a group buy..I am leaning toward Bassani.

 

add the invidia g200 to ur list i just got one a month ago.. it sounds sweet. a little raspy above 4500 rpms but its deep and sounds sick. get in on ebay and get 25% cashback!

 

I thought about the Invidia but when I PM'd Tony at FI he said to stay away from that system if I was after performace...that you get what you pay for..I asked for more details and he has not gotten back to me...?

 

for $800+ I don't see how you could "get what you pay for" how can you tell a difference in quality between an $800 piece of metal tubes and a $1400 exhaust? IMO exhausts are overprice, although the XO2 seems to have rust issues, but I can't justify spending the $1400. Maybe used would be a good idea :P

 

I agree about the overpricing..these companies are pretty proud of their products..LOL...I will keep looking at used stuff though I am leaning toward Bassani though I can't find anyone selling them used or new on here.

 

Don't cheap out..wasn't the xo2 just made to be the HKS? You wouldn't go buy your gf a coach replica purse, would you?

 

^ why not.. purses are ridiculously overpriced when they slap a designer label on it.. who's to know it's not really a gucci wallet or a prada bag? If they look the same I don't see why it matters.. and for a fraction of the cost, you can replace it if it does get beat up down the road.. as for exhausts, I see no difference besides the xo2 having rust issues.. spray a coat of hitemp paint on it and ur good

 

I have read that there is drone with the X02...I know the Bassani uses an X pipe that elimantes the drone...I had Bassani on my 03 Cobra and it sounded amazing..different car, I know....

 

im pretty sure xpipe eliminates rasp not drone.. but maybe?

 

Get the Bassini or FI... please dont buy the HKS replica

 

I heard the bassani is pretty raw. like performance wise. ive seen a dyno run of plus 26 hp and 20 tq but that was the VQ35HR. do know what it does to the DE engine. does anyone know?

 

WOW..those are good gains if that is true..also thinking about Topspeed..any inputs on them?
