I am very interested in the setup, once you dyno and make sure that you don't actually lose any power. Also, can the tips be raised a little? To me, the hang down to far.

i will tell you what if you do the exhaust and loose power we will take it back! The exhaust pictured is on a C2 so the fitment for the GT3 will git into your bumper.

I would imagine since we are talking about a muffler replacement and NOT a cat replace, +6hp is my guess. With 100cell cats and a sport exhaust you can get +15hp ie: europipe or your system with race cats...

evolvedaz

ya you will not loose power with this system

Don't take my post the wrong way. It's just that I have read that several aftermarket exhaust systems and other mods actually lose a few Hp. I would think that a dyno test would be appropriate prior to sales. No big deal.

I didnt take it wrong at all. I just know that you would be happy with this system.

Mr. C4

Little hp gains through cats and mufflers if the ECU is not retuned for change in backpressure and a retuned ECU results in the warranty being void.

Funny enough, my dealer will not void the warranty if just cats and mufflers are changed but once the ECU is touched you are toast.

We all could just buy an extra ECU, a nice RS ECU and everything should be fine. ;-)

rockitman

can we buy an RS ecu ?

evolvedaz

you want the stock ECU?

I doubt average drivers will notice a 4-8Hp increase on a 380Hp car. The advantadge on this Jubily exhaust is on the 41 lbs weight reduction using the stock cats, or 55 lbs if using cat bypass pipes, because that's pendulum weight.

I know i dont post often but I can just hear the internal battle going on in rockets head.... hmmm i love my europipe... but there's this new girl, she's TITANIUM!!!

On a serious note, this one has my attention. The weight savings is key. I've been planning to just throw my bypass pipes on for track days and go back to the stock exhaust for everyday driving.

I have a Gen I Ti exhaust and matched s.s. headers on my GT3 which I suspect may have been made by these same people or an affiliate in Asia. I could never get the importer to tell me who actually made the stuff, but it turned out to be some outfit in Japan rather than elves in the Black Forest. I use it on my mostly-track RS clone. It saves close to 60 lbs., and that's the main reason I bought it--to get down to RS weight despite addition of a rollcage.

The main difference between my setup and this latest variant may be the cats, but that has to be corroborated. Mine has 100-cell metallic race cats and cannister mufflers and it is a little noisy for the street, but within the 98dB window (I think). The newer units may be equipped with 200-cell cats.

One thing you have to know about Ti exhausts for high-stress applications is that they are very fragile and it takes a specialist to fix them. When I backed my car into a barrier this fall, it took close to $700 (parts & labor) to repair the cracks and re-form a squashed tip and some pipes. The welder had to find Ti rods in the Midwest, and they cost over $100 apiece.

The sound of my system is a flat, funky, metallic bark at low speeds (not too fabulous) and a very nice high-pitched scream at high rpm's. I don't have a sound clip, sorry. So from my standpoint, this is an exotic solution to a weight problem.

Hope this helps...

you are right it saves a huge amount of weight on the car! As for sound its a personal opinion i think it sounds great.

HAHA that just made my morning! i laughed so hard once i saw that! Titanium girl looks good !!!
