Top Secret Titanium Y pipe...
i heard that JAPTRIX makes a good copy of the ts ypipe(except the japtrix is not titanium)
i am also thinking bout switching the y. deciding betweent the JAPTRIX one and the JIC one.

The reason I am looking into this Top Secret one is because of the weight reduction. I read somewhere that weights roughly 12lbs vs. the stocks 70 or so!?! How heavy is the Japtrix model?

! The 70 lb is the complete exhaust system (ie Y-Pipe, B-Pipe, and muffler). The Y-Pipe is much less than that. I forgot the weight but the Japtrix is 4 lbs lighter.

titanium y-pipe grp buy! yes! .. need the biggest collector diameter for sure.. i am doing veilside cat back.. but its actually only y-back 
it is 3"pipe so i would like a 3" collector on the y-pipe, or as close to it as possible

I just weighed the stock y-pipe and it only weighs 15 pounds, so I don't think Titanium is worth it, you can probably save more weight by laying off the chips for a week.

And if you are trying to reduce your lap times then there are free ways to shave off more weight, like take the passenger seat out, remove the interior, radio...., take out power robbing accessories like A/C... And would probably only be after getting so good at the track that your technique is perfect.

we would gladly doa GB on the Ultiamte Y pipe......very light, all stainless, direct bolt on, and 3 inch collector.
Frankly, a Ti Y pipe is not worth the price of admission....
