You must understand that the Greddy Ti is only a catback - you still need to fork up $$$ for a downpipe/hfc/testpipe depending on your needs ..

For the price of the Greddy Ti catback - you can get a whole BR 3 inch Turboback with either the magna flow or br canister ... and be almost as light but still just as fast with the best flow.

To each its own ... Form or function?
No way, if money isnt an issue you should be going Amuse. The GReddy Ti is a "so-so" titanium system. I would take the JIC 505S Ti over it.

What about the fitment issues? The downpipe hits the TC and the muffler touches the rear bumper. A few people have had their hangers on the axleback break as well.

a perfect exhaust for a turbocharged car is a funnel on the exit side of the turbine housing that starts the size of the exit and flares out to 6-8".

but realistically you can't have that....so just make your own 3 inch exit quickly flared out to 3.5"...mandrel bent...as straight as possible...and a race pack high flow muffler if you want some noise reduction.

I guess you have to be more specific with what "perfect" means. (sound, power, ect.)

The Perfect Exhaust System

If you can afford it, get the AVO. Looks stock, sounds stock, nice deep tone, no drowning and a solid 25 AWHP and 25 AWTQ across the rev range.

Yes I know what you are saying. I called Gruppe-s and they sent out new fittings and it's just great. The bumper only took 2 days of crazy heat and the exhaust just melted into place... I am trying to be fucnny. It really doesn't bother me. It's very small even if you look you really can't tell anything.

Perfect is so subjective...does perfect equal perfectly power....perfect design...perfect weight....perfect price...perfect balanced?

Most lightweight is probably Buschur....granted there are stock tie bar issues, no flanges, and sound volume...but it gives great power.

Helix has the great JDM look, great fitments....but it's also very bassy.

Greddy has great shape, sound....but it's more pricey.

I think really it's a matter of preference, there are so many aftermarket exhaust vendors, take a look at the exhaust thread, ear some clips, see the prices, check details like mandrel bent, stainless steel, full 3-inches all the way back, clear stock tie bars, etc. then make an educated decision.

That's part of the fun of modding!

For me the perfect exhaust is a combination of different vendors products. But that's just me.
