Hey guys here are some clips I just uploaded onto YouTube for the exhaust. Not the best clips considering what we had to work with but hopefully you get a better outlook on the exhaust.

Parts consist of the Exotic Speed R1-Titan PWR y-back system, Megan Racing y-pipe, and Berk high flow cats. Also the car has an Injen cold air system and ported oem upper and lower intake plenums with spacer. Enjoy.

Not bad at all, although (and I can't say why I thought this) I was thinking the mufflers were titanium, when in fact it's just the tips. Still looks like a decent deal though.

I like the sound clips.

Well the canisters have the burnt titanium look, however, I'm not sure if it is true titanium. The tips seem to be titanium. Yeah overall I think it's a pretty solid exhaust and a reasonably priced one at that. It's different and a good alternative to the Amuse which is so expensive. Although, I wouldn't call this exhaust a replica exactly since there are definitely differences between the two.

I agree with you PPW...Talked to Justin today, and asked him about the resonator and mufflers, they are a SS/Ti treated metal" Newer kind of SS on the market kinda thing i'm loving this exhaust so far...can't wait to get the Y pipe and high flows installed...(prob be high flows first though lol)

I just saw that Assaulttech on the forums has a for sale thread up on this and the R2-T. Both tempting, though dealing with the Canadian shipping BS sounds lame.

I do still wish they had a titanium muffler option... I'll consider this when the time's right though.

Yeah I thought that was the case because they have a little weight to them but certainly not as heavy as the stock muffler. That thing is a whale! They high flows will help the tone most likely. I didn't notice a difference when I swapped out y-pipes however. I'm sure flow is better than the HR pipe I had.

Yeah man that's where I got mine. My shipping process wasn't bad. I didn't have to pay dues or anything. The only bad experience with shipping for me was that one of my tips was messed up but I'm getting a new one sent so its all good.

Who's gonna be the first Nismo owner to try this out? The rear diffuser would really show those 'burnt' canisters.

What do you mean the midpipe's a pain in the ***? it's a 3" midpipe that fits well and goes up easy??? I'm not seeing the P.I.A part?

That's what I worry about, and although I think it's fairly priced its still not exactly cheap and if you have problems...you have to deal with this customs crap. Actually I take that back, no matter what you have to deal with the customs crap, but if you run into problems it's even worse.

I like the sound, I'm okay with the looks...although I'm not huge with this "Ti treated SS". Really that's BS, it's just an effect that is put on standard SS to make people think it's Ti, with no weight savings whatsoever. If they could make the entire thing (piping, mufflers, tips) of actual titanium and get it out t he door for 1200 or less I'd definitely deal with the customs headaches.

Actually from what Justin said, it's a SUS304 stainless and Ti alloy on the resonator and mufflers...*shrugs

I read an article a few months back explaining in detail several different ways to achieve this exact same effect, and the outcome looked exactly like this. I think saying that there is any actual titanium in this product, other than the tips, is quite a stretch but I have no way of 100% verifying that. Either way looks like a quality piece.

Let me see if I can dig that article up.

P.S. Did anyone actually weigh this exhaust prior to installing?
