About to buy an exhaust......
It's the HKS Carbon Ti....
I've searched and read all that I could find...... I have found that this is one of the loudest exhaust out there..... My Rex is stock right now, but I will be adding on a DP soon......
I've heard the Blitz NurSpec and it sounds very loud, actually a little too loud for my taste, but then again he had custom intake, dp and mp to go with that so yeah....
I know that the GReddy SP is very quiet, but I want something just a little bit louder than the SP.... I think was it the Apex N1 that fits that description?
Any help would be nice.

Is any part of the HKS Carbon Ti actually made out of titanium? I read that it's all just stainless steel just like the Hiper but wrapped with a sheet of carbon fiber.
Or is only the tip made of titanium?
TIA.

With just the tip in titanium I see no reason for the carbon fiber on the can except maybe if the carbon insulates the sound slightly. I guess it's just for looks with only a flame burned tip in titanium. No weight savings there.
You can ask Crashunit since he has/had one for sale.

Wait nm I got this off of the HKS site:
HKS Carbon Ti
Special Edition HKS Carbon / Titanium Hi-Power Exhaust systems are available for certain popular applications. These exclusive versions of the Hi-Power Exhaust consist of a carbon fiber wrapped stainless muffler shell, a 120mm titanium tip, and polished stainless steel piping.
