i have the same exhaust xo2 on my 06 G35. sounds deeper then HKS, i prefer the high pitch!! It's stands out more. Bought the exhaust from CXlighting, for a good priced however i wasn't too impress w/ the tips! I've emailed the guy several times asking to see if can get replacements but there's no comment!! Fitment is a little off, the left exhaust hangs a bout 1/2 inch lower then the right one. Honestly don't feel much on hp increase, just a lot more sound and quicker rpm revs at lower mph. After all tubes are tubes regardless of name brand or not as long as there made of same material however the muffler and what's inside them will change the exhaust note. I personally prefer the higher pitch (HKS), right now my G sounds similar to a Greddy exhaust on an 07 STi when compared side by side. Sti is a bit more noticable due to the turbo the exhaust sounds a bit more aggressive. over all IMO you can't get a better true dual exhaust for the price you pay!!

Mine were in last week but with school & the superbowl, still sitting in the garage. I will finally get the chance to install em this weekend. Overall the quality looks nice, clean & solid welds, stainless steel, only thing is the tips are not burnt like in the pics on eBay. I will email the seller, and should know more later this week. Can't wait ....

installed mine last saturday. Bought it used for $350.00. Overall its a great looking exhaust. Very Deep sound. I wish I can afford a Nismo exaust with test pipes, but I don't really want to spend more than 700 bucks on an exhaust.

Finally installed the X02 exhaust.... not really enough miles for a true evaluation. Here are my thoughts so far,
* increased throTTle response and torque in the low end
* I seem to hitting the rev limiter 4600 rpms on most shifts now
* The exhaust note is louder than I am used to, but not unbearable or deafening
* the fitment was perfect, once I got the stock exhaust out of the way
* I will post pics on the fitment next week, I didn't take any on the install but I will show just how nice the fitment really is.
*
* still need more miles to fully evaluate the exhaust, bummed cause Saturday when I was installing I missed a track day. They tell me a NOOB 350Z owner trashed the back end on the passengers side when he kissed the wall. I am hoping to see the pics in the next week.

i just took my x02 OFF, I swapped it out for the turboxs and the x02 had rust spots. I was thinnking to myself like wtf I only had it since the summer. There were rust spots near the welds and just sitting on the piping itself. I say that the x02 is cheap quality

Honestly, the tips looked identical or even better than the hks tips. I was very impressed and must say that was the best 10 bucks I ever spent. I'll try to get new pics of the tips if anyone is interested.
