Godspeed (HKS replica) exhaust
Anyone have this one and care to comment how it sounds compared to the X02? I know there's a clip on youtube, but wanted others who have it to comment based on your experience.
I've noticed they (HKS replicas) all ship out from similar locations in Cali. Is there one manufacturer of these knockoffs or multiple manufacturers. The exhaust as a whole looks the same but tips do differ on the photos from seller to seller (some even say titanium tip covers), so I'm really lost on that one. So I would then assume that they would all sound the same, but from youtube clips they seem to differ somewhat when stock (not running hfcs,testpipes,etc.).
Any thoughts?

Ok i was looking into the HKS style exhaust. Is there a way that I can replace the 8" extension pipe for the G35 in this kit for something like the G35 & M35 XYZ Resonator from Motordyne. I am looking to get this kit w/resonated mid pipe and Megan resonated test pipes. I'm not looking to be super loud or raspy. So I hope I can use the motordyne resonator to maybe cut down on the raspyness of this exhaust and test pipe combo.

The Magnaflow x-pipe greatly reduces one of the flaws of the X02. Drone. I've had 2 different X02 systems and the drone drove me nuts after a month of ownership (pre-x-pipe). The x-pipe greatly reduces the drone and has made my exhaust almost silent on the freeway when cruising. I HIGHLY recommend the x-pipe. Now that I look at it, I wouldn't do it any other way. The X02 resonators in the y-pipe are almost useless. Very little sound insulation material and poor construction. The H-pipe is a joke. It's only a 1/2" hole drilled into the connection tube.
The x-pipe can be found cheap at www.performancepeddler.com. They also ship very fast.
You will need Magnaflow #14385 (polished) or #11385 (non polished). Non polished is cheaper.
Type the part number only in the search. Add to cart. Submit e-mail, then offer price. They will email you back with their best price. I offered $60 and they gave me a price of $80.45 shipped.
As to where to put it, take this picture with you and show your mechanic. There will be some cutting involved.

Here's what it sounds like with the x-pipe and test pipes. The stock cats will be just a little quieter.

Kralj, I purchased the HKS replica (M2) off of Marinelli Motorsports a couple months ago and I love it. It's holding up well thank God and still sounds great. I've gotten nothing but compliments on it. The video does no justice, I think it sounds beast in person... Here is my full review on the exhaust. I hope this comes in handy. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM.

I wanna swap them out for something smaller I was wondering if 1 of you guys... anybody that has it cld measure the full length of the tips for me. From the muffler where it like bends and connects to the tips! Thanks to anyone that does it, I wld greatly appreciate it.

You really need to check my threads on this exhaust on how to cut rasp and drone. Before the x-pipe, it rasps HARD at WOT and drone was unbearable.
