Having been fabricated from Nippon Steel, it is a definite that this exhaust will make significant power. This same exhaust design for the Z33 had a decibel rating of 92; knowing this, I would imagine that this exhaust will be daily drivable as well.

I am glad you asked.

Amuse and Nippon Steel offer something called STTi. Basically it is Super Tough Titanium. This material has proven most effective with the new R35 as most people are aware of the immense amounts of heating the R35 produces throughout the exhaust system. Most titanium exhaust systems, as they increase in temperature, they become more brittle, more fragile; Exhausts from Powerhouse Amuse & Nippon Steel are not as prone to cracking or bending. I do not know the full specifics of STTi, I just know that this material has a longer life span than most titanium exhausts, and yet it is among the lightest exhausts at this point in time.

But, that really didn't answer the question he was REALLY wondering heh. You said:

"Having been fabricated from Nippon Steel, it is a definite that this exhaust will make significant power"

What about Nippon Steel will make more power than any other exhaust?

My apologies if that wasn't the answer you were looking for. Please allow to try again.

Going back to the whole STTi concept, simple physics explains that as materials heat up, the molecules expand, making that item more flexible, more brittle, and more malleable. This also creates more friction. The more friction an object creates, the more power it loses. To my knowledge Nippon Steel and Amuse are the only ones at this point in time who produce their exhausts using STTi. If you add these lurking variables in with all a few other factors of this exhaust, such as lighter weight and less bends, this exhaust will not only create more power but will also free up existing power that you couldn't take advantage of before due to dead weight.

Most people ask the question "how impressive can this exhaust really be?". I can try my best to explain it as long as people are willing to listen. In the end, I am simply enlightening people on different options for their Z. Please let me know how I may better assist you.
