Im not positive, but i think my brand new ark dt-s exhaust is heavier than stock. Little disappointed about that but I'm not going to spend 3- 4k dollars on. titanium
Titanium is very bridal & doesn’t make sense to have on as a DD. It is worth it if you are looking to race on a circuit & want to save weight. At the end of the day the question you have to ask yourself is if you want to spend a huge sum of money on a titanium exhaust.
