Ti exhaust worth it?
I'm starting to lean towards a full ti exhaust, such as Greddy's or Apex'i, but I was just wondering if the weight savings are really worth it? I can't find sound clips of either, so if anyone has any experience with these, that too would be appreciated. I'd like to find an Amuse exhaust, just for the rarity, but I've been told they're super expensive, so that's probably out. What do you guys think?

I have a Racing Beat exhaust and i love it. I have freinds with both Apexi and Greddy exhaust and honestly, a cop is on their *** almost ALL the time and all they have a is a catback. I have a downpipe and RB catback and it is pretty quiet unless you at WOT at which point i sounds awsome. Also Apexi exhaust, so Ive heard, are pretty bad quality. If you role up a piece of paper and bend it in half, look at how the center section gets sqaushed. I have heard the Apexi exhausts are made like that too. The Amuse exhaust is $1650. ide recomend the RB. Its nto too loud but it sounds nice at WOT. Also you wont have cops following you EVERYwhere you go

I got the GReddy Titanium catback exhaust, i have a video on streetfire if you wanna hear it. It's not the best quality vid but check it out. I really like the exhaust and in my opinion with the stock midpipe cat it isn't that loud, unless you go wot all the time. I have only woke up my gf's parents once during summer with the windows open, but haven't yet since it's too cold to have the windows open
Btw, idk if sussex/menomonee falls cops are different but i've had some driving next to me and behind me and haven't got pulled over, knock on wood. and it's not a loud honda type sound but more of a exotic sound So just my two cents on the situation

Lisbon? New Lisbon? I'm in LaCrosse. If you put in a magnaflow muffler in the midpipe it'll sound like this.

yea its worth it. weight savings plus power? what more can you ask for. i just put my greddy titanium on my fd and i love it. isnt too loud, no precat/stockmidpipe, but it has a nice hum to it.

And.. the majority of A'pexi and GReddy exhausts have big fat coffee can tips. They're flashy. The RB is pretty subtle as far as looks go. Might explain the cop situation.
Titanium = saweet.

Yeah, but the HKS Ti isn't actually all Ti. It's just the can of the exhaust, where as on the GReddy and the Apex'i, it's all Ti, same with Amuse. I also don't like the sound of it much, which is what I'm trying to stay away from.

Isn't the hanger stainless steel, seemed that way to me when i installed and i remember reading it somewhere. I didn't have any fitment issues, yea it is a tad close to the bumper, haven't seen any melting issues but I only take her out on the weekeds.

http://rx-7.com/ has a great price on the GReddy Titanium that's where i got mine from, ships fast, awesome service. I would recommend if you decide to get it, get it frm there. Still listed for 619 plus i think 35 or so for shipping if i remember right.
