Default Need new exhaust

Well like it says, I need to get a new exhaust that doesn't need side mufflers. I never had the original titanium exhaust that came with the car since I bought it with sharky already on it. Since then, I cracked the sharky and put a steel stock center section with side mufflers deleted. Now the steel has cracked and my dealer put a brand new titanium on that I don't want to destroy.

So what should I get??

M&M, steel.

So let me get this straight, your dealer installed a brand new center titanium unit under warranty after cracking a steel unit?

That's awesome.

You can always just buy another stock steel unit from Ebay. That's where I got my last one for something like $450 shipped. There are two on there now, asking high, but they will take lower offers.

Mike,

You know I'll take care of you, have new fresh coming out of the oven. For long lasting go with steel and gain some HP, if weight savings is a must and $ no object I have titanium also, that also make power.

Randy also got his Akrapovic from me back in the day. Just a matter of personal preference and what works better for you.
If you ask me my personal opinion, I would go M&M and never look back

I can have them made both ways. The one that is ready out of the oven is Steel, which I prefer for longevity.

John's car run Titanium and Trakcar's titanium in on order. Every other around are steel.

About 15 lbs, but it can vary from style to style. Systems that have a 'big' muffler the weight difference can be a little higher.
