Ptune Motorsports 370z Titanium Catback - Feedback Requested

Ptune

Our main concern at this point is also the actual loudness/tinniness of the exhaust. We like the actual grunt the exhaust has, it's just amplified a little too much for our tastes. Currently, we're looking at two options to help in that regards: 1) we're looking to change the mufflers a bit by adding more sound insulation to help keep the volume down and 2) adding resonators to help aid in smoothing out the tone of the exhaust. At this point, we're still determining the best spot to place the resonators, as we don't want to encounter any issues with clearing/scraping the actual frame of the car with the resonator placement.

We are still working on getting the price set up, as we'll have to make our final changes to the design before locking down our cost per unit. At this point, we are targeting to keep the full titanium setup under 3k.

and the Stainless one more or less around how much?

We are still figuring out the final price on the stainless, but we are shooting for around $1200 shipped for the final product. On our prototype, the stainless exhaust had a nice deep tone and was at a pretty quiet for a dual with no resonator; we should have some videos up for the stainless product as well. We have also dyno'd our products and have some ballpark figures, but we won't release numbers until we have our finalized production exhausts dyno'd.

Cheers!

For under 3k I can have a cbe,lth,intake. I would hope for that cost you put up some serious numbers, and it's able to mesh well with other mods. GL

You are not going to see any better numbers than a SS exhaust, the purpose of Ti exhaust systems is the weight loss and the sound.

Titanium is pretty hard to work with isn't it? I don't really know so i'm assuming so since it's it's one of the hardest and lightest metals out there. I think most companies (no offense to OP on this) try to use this excuse when it comes to their pricing. However, as I said it's very light.... but if you take the weight of the car and subtract the OE exhaust and add the Ti one and then do a horsepower per lb weight ratio, is it worth that little bit extra?

I think it's cool that companies make the Ti exhaust and i'd maybe buy one if it wasn't so high... under 3k really is cheap considering some of them are like 6 or more grand a piece... now THAT I don't get.

Titanium isn't particularly hard, nor is it particularly light.

Aluminum is much ligher than Ti, steel is much stronger. Titanium is a pretty good compromise between strength and weight, though, so it finds it's way into some pretty specialized uses where you don't need the strength of steel (or can't afford the weight), but you need more strength than aluminum (and don't mind it being heavier).


The problem with titanium is that it's *really* expensive to buy, and the scrap isn't really worth much at all. The price is mostly based on the manufacturing process. It takes more work and energy to make Ti than aluminum.

Also, because it has very limited uses in industry and commerce, it isn't mined/milled as much as other metals.

Sorta like ostrict meat... it's expensive, but not necessarily because it's better than a t-bone steak

Probably boring for everyone.

That Ti exhaust looks sweet, and I like how it sounds. Good luck to you, Pan!
