If you are into quality and weight savings the Greddy ti, or any ti is for you...if you want to go ghetto then you have a range of options.

Hell yeah when I buy a 30k car this jan, I am not putting no cheap and poor quailty performance parts period. Last time I check 20+ weight reduction is huge just for cat back. Besides I think its worth extra 200+ bucks for a great quality product. Besides its TITANIUM!

I've heard good things about Fujitsubo. The RM-01A comes in titanium and is supposedly very quiet. Its what I plan on getting when I get around to it. For horsepower Apex-I makes either a 3.5 or 4 inch exhaust in titanium

more money doesn't equal higher quality AND ESPECIALLY not more performance....

now, if you are talking about the cheapest system made, thats one thing....im not talking about slapping on sub par parts....

Wow, you showed me...

Yes, Buschur exhaust is ghetto...take a look at it, read about some of the quality control issues.

The only test with exhausts I've seen did not include the Greddy ti, so on what factual basis do you assert the power supremacy of the Buschur?

FYI, the Greddy ti is the best bang for the buch ti exhaust on the market...

sure it is....but you are telling me titanium performs better? the evo actually needs a little extra weight in the back, so don't say the weight ****.....cause that is BS.

Im gonna check to make sure, BUT, im almost positive titanium runs cooler than aluminum or SS. therefore, the exhaust gas is cooler making it harder to move thus LESS flow. again, im going to check to make sure it stays cooler, but im almost positive it does.

And hey, there is nothing wrong with the GReddy system, never said there was, but, unless you have TONS of money....why not spend that extra 300 bucks on a downpipe? or cam?

btw, whats ghetto about this?





can the welds get any better? NO
can the polishing be any better? NO

just because something is cheaper, doesn't necesseraly make in poorer quality. That might apply to hookers, but not to exhaust systems!

stop hating on a exhaust that only weights 10lbs cause you cant afford it.

20lbs is worth it to me, especially for someone who purposely got an RS to minimize weight. Also, regarding your comment about balance and needing weight in the rear...that does not contemplate the installation of a mini-battery, titanium strut bar, and other weight saving measures.

That Invidia looks fine to me...how much does it weigh? To me a couple hundred bucks is a bargain for 20lbs...
