I have this exact exhaust. It provides immediate reponse on the bottom end, makes the Z car runs stronger. It was easy enough to install and lined up pefectly, the sound is quite a bit deeper. This is the X02 true dual exhaust, for the price I believe you can't go wrong. There are numerous posts here do some searching and read what others say, by the way I have none of the rust issues some here have talked about.

Prude, much?

I'm all for quality parts, believe me. But just because the guy doesn't want to spend $1500 on an exhaust doesn't mean he's "poor". Don't be a *****.

That being said, I do agree that it's not the way to go. There are plenty of quality exhausts on the market that can be had for less than the HKS, just not as "bling".

And for $400 you could find a better used exhaust in classifieds.

Would it kill you to save up a few hundred dollars more? You managed to do it when you bought the Z, right?

My advice: The OEM is a thousand times better than that crap.

Or spend 100 dollars more on the TurboXS exhaust for 500 shipped.

Probably the best thing about having money is knowing how to spend the money smartly, investing with research and looking at your goals both short & long term. I am thinking about twins later this year so for now this is a smart upgrade knowing that I will have to go with a completely different exhaust system with the twins later this year.


So spending less than $500.00 installed is okay for me I had no idea I was suPPosed to ask NOOBs for their permission/blessing when working on my paid for Z car!!! OOOh yeah I live in NM guess you can say this is a dry location, is this okay with you nOOb???

Sometimes it is smart to keep ones mouth shut if you have no clue what you are baggin on ....
