I have never heard of a shop that actually does this. I think you are better off getting one made for the car.

i think of the three, amuse and jic are the easiest to acquire. everything top secret is "top secret." you hear about the products....yet you have to jump through hoops for a decent lead time

Kit (top secret *****)

Ive seen the JIC and people love them, havent heard them in person. Reading about them i hear nothing but its just too loud, whatever that means. I wish i can just meet some guys with these exhausts and make my own judgements.

ive had apexi stuff on my 240 and i like it but i dont know. maybe we can meet one day chineseguy?

anyone have agency power? is that just not a good way to go?

the thing that you need to consider is single or dual. personally if i had an N/A car i would have gotten a Greddy TiC. but i have twin turbo so i have AAM dual Ti. it all depends on your setup. power wise it all depends on the piping size. smaller piping youll get more torque. larger piping you will yeild more top end. but if your comparing power of titanium v stainless steel, there isnt really much of a difference. the point of a titanium exhaust is for weight savings. so theres a lot of things you need to consider when purchasing an exhaust. heres a pic of my AAM still in box..



cant wait to get my z out here. and meet some of you all soon ;-)

If you want a ti muffler get the JIC ST. The exhaust sounds great but it is loud, and by loud i mean i drones, and i think thats what everyone else is talking about, because the exhaust drones like crazy when accelerating. I can't say the same for the Apex'i because i have yet to hear that one in person.

I have the JIC ST and it drones like crazy but so will any other Ti exhaust without a decent resonator/muffler. The silencer helps ALOT and makes inc abin noise much more tolerable.

when choosing an exhaust theres really alot to consider so just remmeber that. you dont wanna go wasting a bunch of money on an exhaust that your gonna have to get rid of later if you plan on going f/i..
