People can come here to watch our catback dyno'd, I will swap the catbacks out, everyone can make sure nothing else is changed and I will re-dyno the car with the GReddy on it. Same day, within a half hour of one another. I'll even pay for the dyno time.
How many 9 and 10 second Evo's run a Greddy Ti?
Is the Greddy Ti lighter? Yes because its titanium. Thats a give in. Our Buschur Racing 3" mandrel bent S.S. catback w/ bullet muffler still weighs in at 16.6lbs.
I did some research on the Ti and this is all Ive found for the GReddy Ti weight "GReddy Racing Exhaust in full Titanium; that’s an 80mm cat-back system that weighs as little as 10 lbs." so it could in fact weigh more but thats the least it could weigh????? According to the test shown it was 13.5.
Also I found this interesting about the GReddy Ti:
"SPECS: 80mm full titanium piping / 2.5" taper/ curled and flamed exhaust tip/ includes silencer"
That 2.5" taper definitely is not going to help it make power. Our system is 3" ALL the way through.
Sound.... which one sounds better? Well thats personal preference and everyone's opinion will be different.
Pricing comparison:
GReddy Ti: $1169.00
Buschur Racing Catback w/ Bullet Muffler: $470.00 SHIPPED
I would go on a diet and lose 3 1/2lbs before I would spend $700 more on just a catback exhaust.
Let me know on the dyno test.

yeah, I would not take that test to much to heart. I wholeheartedly believe the top systems are not on that listing. AMS, Buschur, etc. it almost seems like most of those are CA carb approved systems only. Could be wrong though.
Exhaust is a VERY personal thing. At the heart of it is perfomance. Fist chose a FULL 3" system that has smooth bends and at NO POINT does it neck down below 3". Second (and this is where its personal) chose a sound that you are into. Some like it loud, some like it quiet...others right between.

I know this isn't apples to apples but the Greddy Ti-C TBE is a full 3 inch from Turbo to ti. I wouldn't make a bold claim that its better then some of the reputable shops here (like AMS or Bushcur) but it seems to be one of the better ones esp. for the money....only knocj is its a heat score (AKA loud).

Our quietest offering for a catback would be our Magnaflow muffler option. Still only $470. It is about 4 1/2lbs heavier than the bullet system but is quieter.
As far as a complete 3" TBE from us you would do the bullet muffler "test pipe", and our Magnaflow catback. This system is quiet while not offering any restriction. This sells for $935 shipped.
We do not use any neck downs or resonator in our system and both the catback and TBE are true 3".

The stock ex was off and the AMS on in about an hour flat. The muffler is in the middle of the bumper and it is tight up under the car...
GREAT PIECE!!!
