EDIT: Invision got back to me and is sending me a new set.

Any of you Z guys with this exhaust wanna sell me the extension pipes if you still have them? I have a G35 and my extension pipes are not straight, and I've got some major exhaust leakage. Contacted Invision but haven't heard back yet.

Deviant,

You can have mine. You pay the shipping and they are yours. I'm not going to be using them. Just let me know.

Can you guarantee 19whp on every Z its installed on?

The gains shown from this exhaust are what 18+whp or so over similar stock Z's and with the money left over you can add another 15whp with a MREV2 and Spacer

Even if this exhaust only gained 10whp with the money left over the HKS would have to make 25+whp to be worth the premium

Am I wrong about that too?

Grab a clue

"If I remember correctly (have to try to find my dyno sheet) the HKS exhaust gave me about 12-13 rwhp from the exhaust over stock...."

According to Joe you got robbed HKS is guaranteed to make 19whp or your money back .....

Is there any advantage to getting the KO from ebay vs getting the XO2 one? The only difference I see is the XO2 has "XO2" branded on it and the ebay one doesnt have anything branded on it.

The reason why I ask is because the one on ebay is a little bit cheaper and is in stock.

It might be cheaper because they used cheaper materials/ manufacturing methods? Just a thought...

just to set things clear for anyone who thinks that HKS is jacking up price to make money. The reason HKS is expensive compared to the knock offs is because HKS goes thru the whole testing and the R&D process, for these knock off companies all they do is just copy the design they dont put any time into this or try to make anything from scratch, but to be honest i would go with a HKS because of the name because with knock off companies you dont really have a fall back in case anythign happens.

You may want to wait a couple of weeks before you adjust for height. I noticed mine were off slightly (enough to tell the difference when first mounted) but after being on the car for a few weeks it decreased to where it is only noticeable with a tape measure now.

Not really sure why, maybe weight difference on the one right side hanger adjusts. I know mine had to be "manuvered" slightly during the install as well (read had to use a dowel rod to bring the bolts from one section to another into alignment) and maybe that worked it's way to where it should be.

Doesn't cost anything to wait and you may get lucky like I did!

Im going to be ordering one from Invision 350z soon. I dont give a CRAP if its knock off. In fact all you HKS guys, more power to ya. If you have the money why not spend $1300 on your exhaust system. But for me I dont have that kind of money to spend. Thats why im glad there are companies like XO2 that make a similar design to a dependable product but actually make it quite affordable.

And to be honest, all the people that have already had them, there all pleased with NO complaints to really care about. This thing has the same if not better materials and welds than the HKS, in fact I have seen some HKS with welds that looked like a retard welded them. I guess maybe the only difference is the tips? Big F***ing deal.

All I know is I can almost buy 3 of these for the price of 1 HKS system, and from the looks of it with a nice guarantee and great customer service. So give me 1 good reason why not to buy this?
