I see a sticker on the muffler in the 2nd to last pic. What does it say?
Edit: sorry, see it's the OX2 logo

I'm not a replica hater.. just prove me that they are just as good and I'll change my mind.
Im not one to buy replicas at all but, I figured I would give it a shot on this one. I will bookmark this thread and update it in six months. Believe me I want this exhaust to make a believer out of me as well

I got mine installed today !
The only thing is the tips are not perfect and there are a few dings from very poor packaging. (Not on the main canisters, so who cares!)
The sound is INCREDIBE ! No drone and no rasp. It can get loud under acceleration @ low rpm.
I did not go past 4k, because my z has 40 miles on it
Almost forgot!
2007 exhaust looks slightly better than 2005, but all the mounting points are the same, so all kits will work on 2003-2007 !

Well, I also got my X02 installed today. First impressions are I love this exhaust. Sounds great. Deep growl from within the cabin. No raspiness, just an overall deep throaty sound.

Yea it's great, I have test pipes and no rasp at all(it was horrible with my stock exhaust 
). After week of driving it quite down a bit to a perfect tone, absolutely love it. Was gonna get real HKS before I seen this and woulda been hella pissed spending that much money when u can have this exhaust for more then half off.

Ti tip doesn't look good as real HKS and the weldings are poor compare to HKS.. Though I thinks for it's money, it does its job but I dunno about the hp gain and I just don't like it because it's copy of HKS@!!
