youre like a crackshot detective.
Its a rush right?!
its like being Geraldo Rivera!
haha.
Screw HKS.. were in it for ourselves..
thanks for posting the pic..
btw, the knock offs dont have this.. what they have is also bad tho..
theres a pic of that floating around too, but the h pipe doesnt extende intothe exhaust pipes because theres nothing but a one inch hole on ea pipe wall for gas to flow thru.
HKS= no exhaust flow
Knock off= no h pipe cross flow
conclusion: both are bad, but one is worse.

Here's the pic I took when I had the X02 H-pipe cut off.

As I said in the g forums, it makes you think if the side branch resonators also have the protruding pipe(s)...

wow, i wonder where else a pipe like that protrudes like that and causes restrictive air flow. what a bummer, i was in the process of saving up for this exhaust, but it doesnt look like its really worth it.

im taking a seat while the HKS nuthugger come in and defend the 1500+ exhaust yet again. Not even my 42K+ mile X02 ($400) is that poorly built.LOL
