I don't think he was trying to talk ****, just pointing it out. I bet the pics are from the prototype fitting or something...that is why the welds aren't finished.

 

yeah the pipes are just tacked on to the flanges... isn't the Amuse full titanium?

 

The muffler is full titanium but the mid pipe as well as the optional y-pipe is stainless.

 

Go look up how much a Gemballa or TechArt exhaust costs for a 997TT.

 

So how much dose it save in weight?????????

 

Nope.. I had one before.. piping is Stainless Steel and the muffler is not full titanium either..

 

Pretty much this exhaust is to say that ARC does offer it for Z they know they will only sell 1-2 but they do offer it..

 

The amuse has options for titanium mid and y...and test pipes i think.

 

So the amuse and this arc true dual are not full titanium!!! The only part that is titanium is the muffler? All other pipes (like the mid and possibly y) are ss?

 

ARC is full titanium....amuse has an option.

 

but that how much that car cost compare to our Z ? all i'm saying it that's a little steep for our car . no hating or anything.

 

yup, this exhaust is about 1/5 of the price of a brand new Z

 

I bet many here along with myself could easily afford this exhaust.. But how would you justify it? especially to the wife

 

haha for real

 

Are you serious???? WTF is everyone so hot for it for? The JIC full Ti is.....all Ti

 

The amuse sounds good and best of all, it looks good. Im not that hot for it either
I'd rather have JIC full Ti, but its too damn loud w/ straight pipes. The JIC to me is a baller exhaust.. 9 lbs, full titanium and not 910451204 dollars. Ofcourse, the best setup would be JIC w/ amuse ti front pipe (y pipe + Test pipes in 1 piece, all ti). That setup would drop over 50 lbs from hte stock setup, being the one thing that can give the largest weight savings for the whole car. That exhaust setup and monoblock forged rims and tires can potentially save the car 100 lbs lol. Rediculous.

 

Where can you get the y-pipe/test pipe combo?

I really need just a Ti y-pipe. My JIC full Ti weighs about 9.8 pounds....

 

Where is your warehouse located, I assume you guys are insured so let me just steal one

 

First off yes I have seen ARC finish products and am well aware of what they do. Secondly if the OP had posted this was a proto I never would have asked the question. Third given my point that no one except you knew it was a prototype I am perfectly correct in questioning that. Considering the recent quality issues on HKS exhaust systems (see the H pipe thread if you don't follow that) every consumer should know full well what they are getting before they part with their money. $6000+ for an exhaust is STEEP even for ARC. If they didn't want educated consumer to question them then they shouldn't release prototype photos to their vendors for public release. And as an FYI I could pick up two of those exhausts today but that money is ear marked for the track car i'm building...

 

You should start a raffle for one of these exhausts!
