xet,. im not going to buy anything before i see it and hear it perform. Im not the only one on this post fed up with no videos or sound clips. All i have seen on you tube are very poor quality. Maybe you can man up and help/contribute?

 

xXHotelCrazyXx is a really hard working, busy guy. After working in the hot @ss summer outside, I doubt he wants to come and record a exhaust video clip to determine your decision on buying this exhaust or not. If you're such in a hurry to buy an exhaust, look for something different.

 

Who is this guy? Too lazy to type properly? lol

 

search on youtube there are so many clips of x02 like exhausts and all of them sound very similar. if you do some legwork yourself you can get a good idea of how x02s sound by themselves, with high flow cats, test pipes, in car, out, standing rev, etc by looking around

 

Some pics of the install before and after.

The right canister had a ding in it. It's my bad for not looking over everything before installing.

Without the tips! I had to go to a muffler shop the next day to have them correct it and tig the tips on. Yeah that's another thing. They came with only one set of holes in the tips and they were waaay off!

I'll post more pics of the final product and the final dyno tomorrow.
Thanks!

^ I agree. I purchased mine w/o hearing the EXACT exhaust first. mostly because it was a crazy cheap deal and it looks amazing. If thats not reason enough to buy it, I also Trust Hotel's opinion and I am getting mine installed at the shop today. However I am also having body work done, so it will prob be a week untill I can get it home and make a vid.

 

mine is supposed to arrive today. fast one day shipping, go being in cali hahaha. if I can get it installed today and I get done with researching early enough I'll try to get a video up.

 

I posted alot of pics last night but when I went to actually post them it said a moderator had to approve it or something. Not sure but it took me awhile and then nothing was posted. Maybe they will get posted sometime?????????

 

Test

I wonder why it didn't work last night?

 

His name says 'Kid'.. I think that explains his poor grammer/typing skills.

 

so 2/2 of these exhausts have horrendous fitment? Whats all the hype about?

 

^ where did you get this data?

 

Based on the pics in this thread. The OP's exhaust is too narrow and not centered on the bumper cutouts and one of his exhaust tips is drilled crooked. Then the most recent one posted above has the same noncentered exhaust issue and has an extremely crooked tip. How these exhausts can be even considered slightly acceptable is beyond me.

 

I dissagree. Based on hotel's pics I'd say for 450$ this is a steal for someone who is on a tight budget. and any reputable exhaust shop can heat up the tubing and bend the tips to make it 100%. almost all exhausts have slight fittment issues, ask any shop. seldom to never do they get a system that u can just snap on with a screwdriver and it is show car fittment. I stand by my opinion that this is a great system for the price. Yes, there are better exhaust out there with better fittment. But they also cost 2-3 times more. so all things accounted, I can see exactlly why people "would even consider this exhaust"
