Do you guys know if these exhausts are the same? They all look identical to me from the photos. And they all look like hks exhaust. If they are hks clone exhaust, I suppose they should have same HP gains. However, they all list different HP gains. I am so confused. Any input is appreciated!

search x02 exhaust

 

thanks. i think xo2 is also a hks clone. but these other exhausts in ebay look like they are hks clone too. i just wanna know if they are similar because their prices are quite different. since xo2 is a clone, i don't really know if i should or can say xo2 is a better clone than other ebay exhausts that i listed above.

 

I believe all of the exhausts listed above are xo2. I don't think there are other clones of HKS other than xo2...

 

thanks. i actually emailed the sellers. some of them said their exhausts are not xo2. althought i agree with u, they all look like xo2. but say if they are really xo2, then it's much cheaper than what invision_350z is selling here.

 

Posting links to cheap eBay stuff is a popular trend. Not sure what purpose it serves.

 

X02's are HKS knockoffs. And there are now knockoff's of the X02 (knockoff's of knockoff's).

 

hahaha.....that's an interesting comment!
with that trend, it will just get cheaper and cheaper.....

 

The thing is, quality wise...would they be the same? Therefore the knockoff of the knockoff could be even better?

 

i have also emailed some of the sellers...awhile ago...and they are not x02...atleast that is what they told me. I recently purchased a TurboXS Exhaust on ebay...it is a true catback...includes and very straight looking y-pipe. At first i was worried, but it turns out that the seller is MRC Motorsports. I made sure and emailed MRC and they confirmed. ALso, when paypaling them...the name on the paypal was Julian...who was on this forum before. So this could be another option for you.

What we know from experience that members have a popular exhaust, such as Injen, on their car for 50,000 miles. 50,000 problem free miles for about $1,000. I would rather install one exhaust for 50,000 miles than two exhausts for 25,000 miles each. But that's just me.

 

so does anyone buy knockoff's of knockoff's exhaust, ie the ones listed above? any quality problem? if you look at the past transaction of those exhausts in ebay, one seller actually sold like 30 in just one month...seems like ppl really like it...

 

most enthusiasts who post on these boards wouldnt touch anyone of those exhausts so your not gonna get a lot feed back here.

 

i dont know...i have the X02 exhaust...and now they just seem TOO cheap to be anything but poor quality..i mean how can they pay to produce them and still allow the vendr to make a profit

 

ahh id save up and get the real thing..

Couple posts below there's a discussion on the cxlighting one

Theres a problem with feedback. There is no feedback after the exhaust has been on the car for 20,000 miles. That's the questionable part. Reliability.
