JIC Titanium Exhaust for FD - Superlight weight!



Newly learned info about these exhaust systems. These are perfect if you want a superlight weight, ultra performance, and ultra quiet exhaust system.

The cable and the switch that you see in the picture is actually a remote silencer that you could open and close from your dash. It works like this:




If you guys are interested in this exhaust Rishie, a.k.a. ARD T2, of Automotive R&D is official JIC dealer. Contact him at autornd@hotmail.com. He told me that the system that he just recently installed on a IS300 only weighed 6 lbs.

Its only a catback though, right? I wouldn't be saving much if any weight on my exhaust then, cause mine is lightweight and covers from the downpipe back. Oh well looks nice anyway.

That looks like a cool setup. I bet it is still pretty loud, but the convenience of being able to change the tone without having to pull parts off the car is a very nice feature.

Thumbs up They are extremely light

...as light as my cell phone!

I don't think they come with a mid pipe and couldn't find out if a MP was an option as I couldn't explain it in Japanese and he couldn't tell me in English.

That switch sounds like a trick way of beating tickets though

There is a 1/2 Ti' alternative for about $300 less. Ti' can and SS piping. But unfortunately I haven't heard it yet.

very nice... Sard has an exhaust concept similar to that where you can take advantage of better spool up times and higher horsepower at higher rpm. At low rpm the chamber is smaller, but at higher rpms the chamber enlarges

Unhappy Anybody speak Japanese, uhg

SS = All SUS stainless piping & can
ST = Stainless piping & Titanium can
TI = Titanium pipng "& can", but I think it's only cat back. I couldn't translate the question when I asked in person.

Should I start a thread asking to translate?
