are you comparing an $10K dollar watch thats worth half your car to a $400 dollar exhaust? I wouldn't go as far as calling someone a poser/fake just because of a catback exhaust... So I guess everyone who has an LS1 swap into their cars is a poser fake too.
After all.. We just drive a poor mans Porsche...

2) sounds is subjective
I agree with the guy who says haters will tell you all kind of crap about this exhaust..
Haters can't face it but this exhaust sounds amazing, plain and simple. It sounds fantastic. Fitment is great, sound is great, quality is great (except for the fake titanium tips) which you can easily replace with NICER titanium tips than HKS.
My 100% non biased opinion is that this is probably the best sounding and performing N/A exhaust for our cars. Everything else sounds the same but this sounds mean, especially on a manual.
HKS is nice and deserves its props because they are the original designers of this exhaust but I'm afraid that HKS has been beat by the knock off.
My 03 automatic G35 dynoed at 245rwhp with this exhaust, Ztube and K&N filter.
Please take this info from someone who's actually experienced this exhaust on more than one car and someone with proof.
Whatever you do, good luck and have fun with your car.
PS: This exhaust won't rust on you and will fit properly. With time, ANYTHING will rust from salty roads on snow. If a car's floorboard and stock exhaust can rust, so can anything on that car.

your opinion is not ubiased, LOL. facts can be unbiased, but none of what you said is factual in that it does not hold true in all circumstances. not everyone thinks it is the best sounding exhaust and it hasn't been proven that it is the best performing exhaust for an n/a g.

fitment is also subjective on installation as well.... You don't remember the HKS hi power having fitment issues before? When the X02 was bolted off my G and put on another persons G it fit even better on his car.. Its partially due to how people install it.
Besides, how are you going to tell me that it doesn't fit well out of the box when my X02 fit pretty much perfect. Only issue was a messed up tip because it was dropped prior to installation.
There is a huge HKS vs. X02 discussion on my350z with dyno charts proving that the X02 is a top contender in NA performance. My opinion about the performance is unbiased when I can back up my own words with my own dyno and people have shown their dynos with this exhaust as well.
Sound is pretty much based on opinion, yes.. but this is a very popular exhaust that people like for the sound.
HKS is a nice great sounding exhaust, yes..
But head to head HKS vs. X02..X02 wins hands down in comparison no doubt about that.

I know right? Who cares anyway, the value of these cars is dropping at such a huge rate right now.. Anyone will be able to afford them and all they're going to do is buy generic/knock off parts.. These cars arent worth 20-30K anymore.. Its called the G37 now
