Exhaust weight and other questions

Armhunter · 07-26-2012, 06:25 PM

Ok then here..

Maybe its just a copy not an original, but its still claims 40% lighter and here its only $1500

Armhunter · 07-26-2012, 06:26 PM

Yes, i trust Ebay.. Been shopping and selling there since they started. Never had issues. Just check their ratings before you order.

No where on there does it say it's made of titanium. It's says it's made from polished SUS304 stainless steel piping. The name is Titan exhuast doesn't mean made from titanium.

Sounds like you are paying for a Name.. Or does anyone know.. is Exoticspeed not using Titanium? If someone actually knows a difference that would be great. But if there is no difference, then why pay for a Name? Bragging rights?

I could be wrong but most of the time if it sounds to good to be true it is. If you feel good about it, i'd say get it weigh it and let us know. You may have a very good find on your hands.

Yea, I know this.. I just did not know enough about the exhaust systems to even know about AMUSE... But I am learning. Only had my Nismo a few months and am not just looking up more and more mods.

Too addicting!

Armhunter, that is the exoticspeed exhaust, which isn't titanium and is sold by many vendors on this forum. The titanium exhaust you were talking about earlier is made by Amuse.

I tell you what guys, my old Agency Power exhaust was very light weight. I would say it was atleast 20lbs lighter than stock. My new Ark DT-S exhaust is much heavier.

I just cant believe how heavy the Nismo is compared to the rest.

For the money/power/weight/sound, fast intentions is the best option in my opinion.

Total is 19.4 lbs, awesome weight... Compared to 53.6lbs! I think I will go with TITAN even though they run around $1600.

Here is where I got the information.
TITAN EXHAUST

Wow, that is insane! Did we ever settle on which price was correct? I'm gonna go do some homework now, but this is awesome!!

EDIT: Looks like Phelan paid $3k... but saw a 15hp increase at the wheels and a 27 lb. weight savings. Can anybody comment on if these values would stand for a Nismo?

Those numbers sound about right, 15whp might be a little optimistic but all in all I wouldn't see why it would be any different if installed on a Nismo. Question to ask is an exhaust really worth 3k+ dollars and a wait time of god knows how long since these types of exhausts are mostly special orders from Japan.

yeah i dunno. i can live with spending a hair under $4k once in a lifetime on an exhaust...$6k was a little harder to justify.

Closer to 6k for the whole exhaust.

Here you guys go..... Amuse muffler section and mid pipes nismo version..... $4250.00
370ZTUNE.com

Amuse front pipe nismo version... $1795.00 - 370ZTUNE.com

Do the math and that's A LOT of $$$ just for an exhaust.
