avoid rolling the dice and CX Racing/lighting
i got my kit it looked nice but didnt fit. the Y pipe was way to narrow as seen here

I called their "customer support" to try and get the Y pipe switched out. Kevin Xie is the owner this was his reply to the pic i sent and why it wont fit
is because it wasnt flipped properly. Trying to speak logic to him that it didnt fit was a waste of time. so was speaking with "Ace" (which he is not) about the issue.
so i had to spend another $290 to get a custom fitment to match the rest of the kit.
these guys couldnt give to ***** about their customers and if you buy from them you are chancing what i just went through with them.
here is a pic of the complete kit

Nice use of your fat stacks to show the width of the y-pipe. Sucks that you got unlucky. I tried out the replica kit and it fit perfectly, just crappy sound/mufflers.

LOL 20$ is fat stacks? i didnt have a ruler and needed to use something for reference that everyone had. went outta my way to help get the issue resolved but CX was a bunch o' dix.

ok so I'm sold.
i got on ebay, did some searching for the x02 knock off of a knock off whatever we're calling it from cxracing
I found one for $390 w/ free shipping and thought, ****- score!
I'd better order this right away.
Then, my frugal *** did a little more searching and i found this for $288.98 w/ free shipping
EBAY LINK
it looks identical to me but its a different seller.
thoughts?
if you guys think this looks comparable i'm ordering it tonight.

i ordered mine for about 250 plus 95 shipping ... m2 performance had it on for about almost 2 months using with the MD xyz pipe( had the shop custom add flanges to a transition y pipe) works and sounds great so far so good..... i dont know how it will sound with the h pipe it comes with but most people like to replace it with a magnaflow X pipe.... id say go for it only reason i chose M2 is because its a sister company to megan.... plus did some HW and seen alot of nightmare stories with cxracing....

+1 on that, i get compliments on my exhaust all the time with test pipes and headers, to me i could hear the rasp after i put the tp in but plan on fixing that with the magnaflow x pipe. personally its a fine exhaust but they cut corners in the resonators and H pipe. for an extra 100$ though, still less than a third of the price of a new True HKS exhaust

Bump!
Didn't want to create a new thread.
Just got the Replica HKS yesterday. 260 free shipping. Couldn't resist.
Doesn't have an H pipe like some others I've seen.
For the X-pipe mod I believe you replace the resonators right after the cats and put it there? I'm getting confusing answers. Some say The magnaflow x pipe bring the VQ sound back and less drone. but does it reduce the actual decibel in sound?
Fitment was alright. I got what I paid for though. Sounds like a fart can.
+Wouldn't removing the resonators for an x pipe make it louder? I'm so confused.

I did search. I searched for hours. The answers I got were all different.
Ignorant of you to automatically assume.
Answers I've seen were
- X pipe makes it louder.
- X pipe makes it quieter.
- X pipe makes less drone but more rasp
- X pipe makes less drone less rasp
All on the same setup. HKS replica with X pipe mod. (Magnaflow)
Most of the problems in every car has a search. Not like any post will have something new that someone else hasn't tried. What's the point of having a community help you out if you're going to tell someone to search.
