XO2 Exhaust - Fits RAS on G35 Coupes
XO2 Exhaust - Fits RAS on G35 Coupes
Posted this over on G35 Driver, thought you guys might want to look at it.
As the title states, I have RAS on my 2006 Coupe and yes it does fit fine. There is no rubbing or bouncing against the RAS mechanism. And yes, I put it on myself so I would know. So without further delay, the review.
Shipping: Dad called around 10:30 AM yesterday to say that it had been delivered. The box was beat to hell. There were giant holes all over the place. One of the saving graces was that the local FedEx driver actually taped the holes up for me. Good thing too because the bag holding the nuts, bolts, washers busted wide open and spilled all over the place. I ended up only losing one regular washer. So thank you local FedEx, F you CA and TX FedEx and whoever touched my package.
Exhaust outside of the car: There are a few blemishes, especially on the tips. The welds look top quality (had dad inspect, he owns his own machine shop and welding business). One thing strikes me, the passenger side tip was put on upside down. I mean come on Chinese assembly line
Other than that, I wish they would have labelled the pieces and included an instruction set. I only wish this so that there would be no confusion at all. At first I had no idea where the extenders went. Did they go on the rear part of the exhaust or where? (BTW they go after y-pipe replacement ).
Exhaust under the car: I wasn't this frustrated when I put my headers on. The extenders were obviously botched. They basically could only go on one way and f'ing fit. Fitting wasn't the problem, fitting with both gaskets was the problem. I was getting extremely frustrated doing this to be honest with you. And like I said, when I did my headers I had 0 frustration. I think it is because I thought to myself, "This is an exhaust install, it should be piece of cake" whereas with the headers I thought "Holy **** everyone is making this out to be the hardest thing in the world I better take my time."
Exhaust now that it's on the car: To me, it sounds like pure sex. I have headers and test pipes and it is LOUD. If you don't want any cabin noise at cruising speed, do not do this combination. If you are going downhill or on a straight road, the noise isn't bad. But if you are going uphill, it is significantly louder than the stock. And the tips are too short. WTF was XO2 thinking? If you leave them where they are stock you are retarded imo. I will go back this weekend and drill new holes so that it looks normal.
I love the exhaust probably more because it got rid of my rasp from the headers + test pipes + stock exhaust. There probably is rasp but it's so GD loud, you can't tell.

Mine are adjustable too but only so much. It's literally probably 1/3 of an inch at the most, probably more like 1/4 of an inch.
I got it from a group buy on G35Driver.
