if you're concern about flow, the larger piping and less bend the more flow potential will be.
Regarding titanium cracking undre heat, that's simply not true. Titanium retains most of their strength under extreme heat(much more so than steel), which is why it is the most sought after material for connecting rods aside from their lightweight of course.

yeah ericM is right on that one. Titanium is much, much stronger than steel and it will not crack under heat or stress. as for flow i dont know.
Peace,

i would say as long as u have 3" manderal bend exhaust restriction shouldent be a problem unless your running high amounts of HP like 450+ then you would start to notice a slight difference.

i would think that flow between those two is very minimal. It comes down to piping etc. The Greddy PE Is quieter however. But overall, i would think the JIC unit flows better.

Sorry, this comparison does not make any sense. The JIC is twice the price and titanium?

Titanium can not handle as much heat as stainless steel from my research wanting a titanium DP. You would have problems with it as a DP but not as an exhast.

The JIC uses a clamp/band type of hanger the the Greddy has welded rods for the hangers.

If you're rich and you do'nt mind the obnoxiousness of the noise go for the JIC, if you want a better bang for the buck get an apex'i or greddy

When comparing the two, you also have to think about the weight savings...

Is the JIC a full titanium, or just a titanium muffler?

the JIC comes either full titanium, SS piping and titanium muffler, or just full stainless steel

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. Here's a better thread title: Is the JIC titanium woth twice the price of Greddy PE.

Here's some better ones though:
JIC titanium -vs- Kakimoto titanium
Border Racing 4" titanium -vs- HKS 4" titanium

JIC has two titanium exhausts. One has stainless steel piping and the other has titanium piping.

i believe the "blueish trim" your thinking about is just a property of titanium---it will change color under heat.
