My oem exhaust tubing measure as a 2.5 OD on my G35. I need to crawl under the car and see if it's all constant size. It looks pretty well made really.

I'd go with the 70-something in box Invision mentioned for the HKS. Probably , 60-some unpacked, if that, HKS uses a lot of packaging. I knew the 31 lbs on my shipping form couldn't be right. I think they only printed the weight of 1 of the 2 boxes on it. Honestly, handling the pieces seperately during installation really gave me no idea as to total weight, but I believe someone that sells them would know the total weight they ship.

I just ordered from invision as well and got really great service..I think the magnaflow x-pipe would be a great addition to the exhaust...might even quiet down some of that cabin noise and a little rasp and even add a little to the low end...

rust is out of the question, since its 100% stainless steel. I was talking to Louis over at Invision and found out that it comes with a 1 year full replacement warranty. Seems like a great deal. I think it's better to go with this then the HKS. I'm gonna test this one out myself

In my XO2 exhaust I to have very minimal drone, but that is maybe because I have test pipes too. I can't complain when I had the Ingen it was really abnixous with test pipes.

What kinda test pipes are you running??? I know people that have put the magnaflow muffler x-pipe on the injen exhaust and they say there is a decrease in drone... I might try this!!!

I've had mine for a few weeks now and it seems to have gotten quieter despite running turboxs test pipes. The other day i replaced the tips with real HKS TI tips so now no one can tell the difference MUHAHAHAH
