Hey xXHotelCrazyXx. I took your advice and I just got this exhaust installed on Friday. I did a baseline Dyno (JWT Popcharger) . I threw away the oEm filter when I bought the JWT or I would have re-installed the oEm intake for the baseline. Granted it was over 110 Degrees in the Dyno garage. I did the baseline and had the exhaust installed and then did another run. With just the PopCharger I put down 229whp and 216tq. After installing the Exhaust I put down 233.5whp and 225tq. Again it was hot as chi outside! I'm alittle disappointed about the hp gain but the tq is great. I'll post pics soon. I also had to go to another muffler shop to have them reposition the left exhaust tip. It was under the bumper and pointed in. All in all this exhaust is a must buy for $499.99 shipped and the sound is amazing! I'll dyno again once it gets cooler outside. Thanks for the great review.
Below is from when I first installed it. I have since got it tuned with the COBB A/P and MD spacer and the numbers are 235whp and 225wtq. It was tuned on an AWD Mustang dyno at COBB so the numbers are diff with the diff dynos. The powerband is now smooth as a babies *** and It looks like I picked up about 20hp on the top end with the smoothing of the curve. From the first dyno it looks like +4whp and +9wtq. Thanks!

I just talked to www.m2performance.net who claim to manufacture the exhaust and they sell the exhaust for $400 +$40 shipping

yes
I don't have my X02 anymore. Sold it to another forum member.
I missed the good old VQ sound.
I did notice a power loss in the mid-range when I put the OEM exhaust back on.

FYI - Statik has the M2 performace HKS style for 390 shipped.
I still debating if I should get this myself. its dirt cheap compare to what others are selling. But I dunno if I can handle the noise. It just might be too loud for me.
