Ok got the pictures taken and exhaust installed. Tips looked pretty mediocre but everything else was very nice. The sound is just like the x02. I see why this design gives such a boost.....after getting under the car you see how crappy the stock design really is =x.

Fitment is very good. Received the exhaust yesterday and installed it today. Took me around 4 hours to get the stock exhaust off! Bolts were all rusted and the hangers were rock hard...ended up cutting parts of the stock exhaust off. Big PITA. Once the stock exhaust was off however, took me about 30 mins to put the new exhaust on. Fitment was pretty dead on and matched up very well. No rubbing with very good clearances. Very easy to install. The right (passenger) exhaust was around 1/2 inch higher than the left side, but that was easily fixed with a little tweaking of the hangers.
The overall quality of the exhaust is great. The welds look very good and the sound is amazing (same as the X02 I would say). The tips are alright, certainly not as good as HKS. Out of the two tips, the one looked great... the other didn't look to shabby (Part of the brown burn speckled onto the blue part). Not very noticeable when installed on the car, but I will try to contact the seller to get a better looking tip hopefully. Overall, I am very satisfied. The car pulls harder and the exhaust looks great. Has a nice aggressive sound thats not too loud and doesn't produce much drone inside. I paid a total of $480 shipped for the exhaust and it took 5 days for me to receive it. For the price, nothing can really beat it.

nice....you guys are lucky to pay $480. I gotta pay $599...but hey it's cheaper than others. Once pics are up, i'll make a final decision.
Sucks that the bolts were rusted. Thank goodness I have my trusty impact gun
O yea, Vids too if you can!

Youll have the HKS guys in here talkin crap about it cuz there just mad they spent $1500 on the exact same thing just with an HKS name on the box... LOL

Going to do a little polishing this Friday while putting my Fast Intentions Test Pipes on at the garage. Every part of this exhaust was great except I envy the clean look of the HKS tips. We will see how a little elbow grease turns out on them tho.
