Just noticed it in the pictures. The tips are a much brighter blue than depicted in the pictures. My camera isnt the greatest and it was dark outside.

I see a sticker on the muffler in the 2nd to last pic. What does it say?

Edit: sorry, see it's the OX2 logo

Well, whatever makes you guys happy. Hopefully you get more than your money's worth with these. It looks just like the HKS.

Im not one to buy replicas at all but, I figured I would give it a shot on this one. I will bookmark this thread and update it in six months. Believe me I want this exhaust to make a believer out of me as well

I got mine installed today !


The only thing is the tips are not perfect and there are a few dings from very poor packaging. (Not on the main canisters, so who cares!)

The sound is INCREDIBE ! No drone and no rasp. It can get loud under acceleration @ low rpm.

I did not go past 4k, because my z has 40 miles on it

Almost forgot!

2007 exhaust looks slightly better than 2005, but all the mounting points are the same, so all kits will work on 2003-2007 !

Well, I also got my X02 installed today. First impressions are I love this exhaust. Sounds great. Deep growl from within the cabin. No raspiness, just an overall deep throaty sound.

Yea it's great, I have test pipes and no rasp at all(it was horrible with my stock exhaust ). After week of driving it quite down a bit to a perfect tone, absolutely love it. Was gonna get real HKS before I seen this and woulda been hella pissed spending that much money when u can have this exhaust for more then half off.

Ti tip doesn't look good as real HKS and the weldings are poor compare to HKS.. Though I thinks for it's money, it does its job but I dunno about the hp gain and I just don't like it because it's copy of HKS@!!
