Ebay titanium exhausts??

[littledan]

debating back and forth about my exhaust setup right now... going either custom (ghetto) or for a full greddy evo2 catback...

what do you guys think about these cheap ebay mufflers?? holy shit i can't believe i just typed that! well.. no one makes a titanium exhaust can for my car as far as i know and i've been debating buying some mandrel bends, a muffler, and a resonator and welding it all together... any +/-? this muffler is made by tsudo... any experiences with these?

what would be the benefits of titanium exaust over stainless?

weight would be so negligable it would be easier just to take the spare change our of your pockets... but im sure buying a Ti exaust system would do that for you too

If you do a full Ti exhaust then yeah go for the weight savings..you pay A LOT more though...if you are only going with a Ti backbox, then custom everything...

I mean the GReddy piece you are looking for is a great one...IMO GReddy pieces are very sweet sounding...Just you pay for GReddy am I right??

I would definetly go the custom route...Its what i did, and now Re-doing on my Talon...I am going for a whole new look and effiicency...Save some cash, and be orginal...this is what I would do...

that looks like a universal muffler with a titanium tip. weight saving will little to none as the rest of your piping will have to be custom made in aluminized/stainless steel. IMO greddy evo is a much better exhaust than any no name universal muffler off ebay. if you want real titanium exhaust look into JIC exhaust systems.

^^shiet there is no way i could afford a full ti exhaust.. i just want the titanium can... i would buy stainless mandrel bends to be welded together...
