:tiphat:Nice art!

BLM 03-14-2011 04:31 PM

The pieces are gorgeous but so f'in LOUD

Jordo! 03-14-2011 04:57 PM

Looks purty.

What's it weigh?

BLM 03-14-2011 05:13 PM

If the entire piece is titanium, I wanna know what it COSTS. I can't see it being cheaper than $3-4k

KaienZ34 03-14-2011 05:20 PM

I guess it's just me but i think all the weld spots make it look like sh!t. For the price it's going to cost and all.

BLM 03-14-2011 05:29 PM

It definitely gives it that "hand made" look. I don't know much about metallurgy but wouldn't it be better to have longer, solid pipes that are bent rather than all those welds?

KaienZ34 03-14-2011 05:34 PM

I think the titanium is harder to bend, so that's why all the small pieces and azz loads of welds. Not for me....

NYBladeZ 03-14-2011 05:35 PM

Nice way to spend 6k on an exhaust. The Meisterschaft is pretty exclusive as it is, be it for the loudness or price, hell I wouldn't have gotten one baring the deal I got of a forum member. I hope whoever picks one up comes on here and gives us a lot of clips.

Ditto.
Looks like something from Mad Max.

BLM 03-14-2011 05:39 PM

I've heard some videos of the non-titanium version. Sounds like the car is running straight off the exhaust manifold without pipes. Crazy loud.

tonybui 03-14-2011 05:46 PM

I wanted the rear only but it still cost a penny lol

Red__Zed 03-14-2011 07:04 PM

gorgeous as always!

christian370z 03-14-2011 07:15 PM

I really like the matte burnt titanium exhaust tips, and yes all those welds are necessary as titanium is not only difficult to bend due to strength but it has the tendency to kink/fold/crack when bent at larger angles I believe.

Cars that run full straight pipes usually suffer from a lot of rasp, the Meisterschaft is possibly just as loud but its a clean sound.

Dreezy562 03-14-2011 07:23 PM

actually if the welds are top notch (which it looks like they are), the base metal will crack or rip apart before the weld does. welding actually increases the strength of metal

Good to know. Still, this damn thing has to be something crazy like $4500

NYBladeZ 03-14-2011 07:35 PM

midpipes retail for $1500 each (x2) + 3K for the can = 6k exhaust

Dreezy562 03-14-2011 07:41 PM

i love this exhaust, but unless you get 50 horsepower off of it, the price to hp ratio is bad

KaienZ34 03-14-2011 11:36 PM

It still looks like...:barf:

TypeOne 03-16-2011 09:42 AM

I'll put this setup on the list of things to buy when I become a baller.

:-/

Almost as bad as that quote I got for a set of wheels for a "good" price of $7500. lol

BLM 03-16-2011 09:44 AM

I know many of us are distracted by the assumed astronomical price of this piece, but on a serious note, does anyone else agree that unless you weigh less than 165-175 lbs it really doesn't pay to spend crazy money on "weight reduction" mods such as this? I mean, unless you really get into it and are overhauling tons of parts, the biggest weight reduction mod is free! It's the driver!

I make money staying 200-225. It's cheaper to buy lighter parts:tup:

With the quality of the welds on the exhaust the inside is virtually like a smooth single pipe.

Titanium is very brittle compared to regular steel, so bending it to our requirements wasn't an option. Each individual piece is bent to the maximum amount before it is welded to another piece, so each piece has it's own arc to it.


Glad you guys like it. If anyone has any more questions feel free to ask.

GTHAUS 03-21-2011 11:08 AM

Here's a couple more photos of the Titanium exhaust

KaienZ34 03-21-2011 02:24 PM

Nice weight saving, but i can't see spending 6K just for a catback exhuast. That's 75% of what you would need for a SC kit. JMO

Different people like different things. To some people it's worth it.

KaienZ34 03-21-2011 05:53 PM

I couldn't name one that would rather have a catback instead of SC kit. Could you??

BLM 03-21-2011 08:21 PM

It's a purist thing. Or if you're building a serious track/race car and getting serious about weight reduction. Different strokes for different folks. Some Honda freaks adorn their cara with all Mugen or Spoon parts that costs 3 times as much as other manufacturers for the same power. It's a personal preference. I think these pieces are awesome. Just too loud and metallic sounding for me.

KaienZ34 03-21-2011 10:01 PM

I still would like to see someone pay 6K for just catback a exhaust that saves you 20.7lbs. You save more weight if you just take the spare tire out and if you have the touring model. Take the bose sub out that with the spare out you save something like 40lbs, change the seats out to some nice bride seats and bam.

Dreezy562 03-21-2011 10:25 PM

so is this a true dual exhaust

KaienZ34 03-21-2011 10:31 PM

Nope, just look at the pics.

We wouldn't make it if they didn't sell...

I think you've made your point.... :ugh2: We understand you aren't going to pay for this exhaust, but that's not to say some people will and do. All depends what a person wants.

Maybe the lucky owner of one of these units will post up in this thread if they see it.

BLM 03-22-2011 04:47 AM

Does the Titanium version sound any different from the stainless? I'm assuming the two have different resonance properties. Maybe not

Vegitto-kun 03-22-2011 05:06 AM

I am wondering. why didn't you guys do a true dual CBE instead of going Y-pipe like stock.

370z owner 03-25-2011 07:19 AM

is there any power gain from this exhaust or just the sound and looks?

Mr&Mrs 03-25-2011 07:38 AM

This looks great! If you consider the weight savings, power gains, and IMO the best sounding exhaust for the Z. It is a good deal if its within your budget. Defiantly not for everyone though.
