yup thats were i got mine you should be really happy when it arives!!!!!!

 

850 used to 385 new for the same thing with a dif. name its a no brainer. i also think it sounds better than the hks IMO i got a whole lot more for what i paid for plus with with the left over cash im able to get my nitrous kit hehehe.

 

hahah...i should have listened to you b-ron!! well, now i think it's 480 not 385 though still quite a lot cheaper

 

With the problems Chiho encountered during and after the install, and the quality of the exhaust, i stand behind my word. I've owned the Authentic HKS, and have seen the XO2 in person. Even thought they might look the same, but the quality and overall fitment is questionable. Chiho, for example, is one of the owners that has encountered issues. Each to its own.....congratulations with your new exhaust....

 

CHIHO got a bad apple thats all its a great exhaust IMO the fitment is perfect, the cans and piping are flawless(this on my car im talking about) dont get me wrong im not trying to make an argument out of this my point is you can by the "best of the best" and it could have deffects like scratches and so on . higher price DOESNT ALWAYS mean higher quality. and im def, not going against hks at all.

chiho: lol atleast you saved 1,000 dollars and get the same performance lol i wounder why it went up?

 

Hahaha.....No offense taken bro.

 

Thanks for the re-affirmation, for the price I probably can't go wrong. Worst case scenario I can always go back to the stock exhaust. This will free up funds for "the twins" that I am hoping to get in late 08

 

i wish i could afford TT. good luck with the TT

 

i got the xo2 also. it cant compare to the real thing but for the money its well worth it. only problem i had and still have is one side is lower then the other, just haven't took time to fix.

 

Rusting out - look at this guy's problem w/ the x02:

Anyone considering this cheap knockoff would be much better off with an authentic HKS.

 

yo iseven...how much off is ur left side tip? mine looks 1-1.5 inches off...

 

yeah that is what you would expect. The x02 is not stainless like the HKS. It is a waste of money and the tips look like garbage.

 

you say that now until the whole thing rusts out and leaks...

 

xo2 is stainless, sus 304 stainless.

 

Wow, i never thought it would rust like that in two weeks... Well, this further proves my previous post about x02. And yes, my point still stands....

 

Maybe true, but with a lower grade sus 304 stainless.

 

I have yet to see anywhere that says HKS uses a different grade sus 304, right now the only information I have been able to pull up was they both say SUS 304. Just looked at my exhaust tonight, been 3 weeks between washes and it has had salt/road grime all over for the past 3 weeks, 0 rust.

 

apparently not

 

Stainless doesn't mean it will not rust. It just means it is more resistant to corrosion than regular steel. "Stain less" not "Stain free".

 

I don't get why people bash others with XO2, it's their cars and they can do what they want
