I just found this, and I think it looks pretty cool, especially the price

here's the link - there's videos and stuff too

just wondering if anyone here has it?
and maybe some reviews, etc...

you would be correct, single muffler set up.

and its made out of carbon fiber and titanium, so it must be super light weight.

personally i find it a bit loud and raspy/tinny..
hehe, I kind of like the raspy sopund to it.

WTF???? are you aware that you can buy a down pipe, midpipe, and catback separately and still have a full exhaust system?

why do you say its rice? so you also think that all the greddy, HKS, apexi, and etc..cat back exhausts are rice?

I currectly have a 2.5 inch HKS dual catback and 2.5 inch downpipe, but I eventually want to upgrade to 3" or bigger all the way back. and titanium/carbon fiber would be good because its incredibly light. plus, this one has a very nice price tag.

posts like that **** me off. sorry. but if your going to say its rice, please explain why. and also, I didn't say "which exhaust should I buy" nor did I say "I want to put this cat-back on my otherwise stock exhaust". so why do just assume those things?

Not sure but that looks like one of those ebay mufflers that sell for 40 dollars. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2418244491
If it is something like that the you might aswell just buy one and make your own piping. I don't know how you would verify that it is infact made from Titanium but I would make sure.

PS I do hear that titanium exhaust do sound funny and sometimes rattle a bit since they are thin.

Settle down, Its not something to be pissed about, Its rice in my OPINION because someone should just go all out and buy a complete system not just a Cat pipe for WAY too much money.....Spaz

that car is bridge ported!!???? thats crazy. and it idles pretty good for a bridge port.

I'm pretty sure its not one of those ebay mufflers. for one, its got a carbon fiber shell , and two, it looks like titanium, not just polished stainless steel with that dumb little burnt tip thing on the end. but its definetly something to check into.

thanks for the input. I don't really like the look of the carbon fiber and blue tip stuff, but if its crazy light, then I want it. maybe.

WTF? do you understand that you can get a complete system by buying several different individual parts?

and you think that something being overpriced makes it rice (even though this is a pretty good price)? please explain your definition of rice. I don't understand.

and $425 is WAAAYYY cheaper than any other cat-backs besides corksport, and the RP system(which is only 2 inch anyway). I'd much rather spend $425 on a titanium cat-back then $500 + on something because it says "HKS", or "racing beat" or something like that.
that is, if its good quality(which I'm trying to find out).

And sure I understand, I dont see the point of not doing all at once, because you wont see any true performance increase until you work your complete system....unless you already have the parts and needed the CAt back

Why are you whining about 425 for a cat-back. My greddy Power extreme was 900 bucks . And yes the car thats on is heavily moded, its a BP or Half BP and the turbo is huge. It becomes much less raspy if you throw on a pre-silencer.
