Yah I was going to try that, but I think I might just go with high flow cats..
Too many bad stories about test pipes I've heard.

and what stories have you heard?

just about droning and rattling, and having to mess witht he 02 sensors... its not really that bad, but if youre gonna buy test pipes, make sure they are good quality.

droning is your exhaust NOT test pipes. and rattling is cheap resonated test pipes which say remove rasp and drone. which they dont do either. just test pipes that a pipe nothing more is the way to go. ive been in the VQ area for a very long time. built them up and torn them down. 650whp+ i know it all...

agree, agree, and agree.

Nothing's wrong with TP. I ran custom headerback on my G35 with Headers and mine doesn't have that much rasp compared to others with HFC + catback. It's all in the design of the exhaust.

X02 aren't bad exhaust. They copied HKS design because it works (reduce drone and rasp). HKS = higher pitch while X02 = deeper tone. X02's welds are also good. Nothing's bad about them. If anything, it's their mufflers and their quality vs HKS.

Can't go wrong with either.

wrong XO2 has drone big drone. they copied it to knock of hks. and higher pitch is wrong too. my hks is very deep.

I was comparing the HKS to the X02 where the HKS got a throatier and higher pitch tone than the XO2. It's HKS signature sound.

X02 doesn't drone as much as other true dual catback such as EVOTT or Injen because they copied the HKS's design with a parallel pipe.

parallel pipes mean nothing. its drones. Ask w0ady. he had it its was loud and drones like no other.
