you don't need it , it will not save you much weight vs the stainless without muffler. maybe 3lb. not worth the money.

-" HKS has always provided quality items for the RX-7. HKS Titanium Racing Exhaust has a 4" tubing. The tubing extends to the downpipe attachment. This exhaust replaces the catback system and midpipe section. Exhaust hangs with racing springs from vehicle. "-

I HAD the hks 4" titanium exhaust......the piping is NOT titanium, rather it is SS but the canister is full titanium. Do you think i'd be fucken dumb enough not to know what its made of when i had the exhaust on the car for 1 year.

Gene's getting to the point of spending major bucks to lighten the car. You can also save about 10 pounds if you add the flex-a-lite rear window for the FD for about $250 bucks. More weight savings and less money than buying a Ti mp-cat back system (compared to SS).

How is the car running? Just wondering what you've added since the PFS IC you got from me a few years back. Still running strong?

I can gaurantee that that thing is full Ti, I talked to Chuck about it a while ago...that exhaust is hands down the highest flowing, lightest exhaust on the market!

don't hold your breath waiting for Chuck to come out with the Ti midpipe. The last I talked to him, he had no plans of making one due to no interest. Although, if someone is serious about it he will have it made.
