Any close up pictures of the welds on the pie cut section?
Yup.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your support!!!!

Here's a picture of our welds:



The welds are done semi-automatically to ensure uniformity and maximum strength.

This year we have invested substantial amounts of money upgrading our welding equipment to be able to produce a premium product.

In terms of cost liteSPEC actually purchases Titanium ore (sponge) on the open market and has 8 months of futures contracts for the Titanium ore - this is how we are able to keep our prices so low. In today's crazy commodity markets, the cost of ONLY THE RAW MATERIAL is over $600 for the EVO X exhaust system.

I don't want to be a pushy car sales man but the truth is we cannot expect to keep prices this low forever if the cost of Titanium continues to rise!

Thank you for your support EVOM!

Cheers,

liteSPEC USA

it would be roughly 200 more for the tomei if you shop around

wouldn't trade my tomei for any other exhaust.
that being said, the new welds look 100% better than before, great job litespec for continuing to improve your products, i'd recommend this exhaust to anyone looking to save some $ on a good product now.

Looks like a quality system to me. The price, no use of springs or clamps for mounting (all bolted flanges) and built-in resonator make this a great competitor to the Tomei system.

Need some WOT videos!

So you'd rather have an exhaust that necks down and isn't a true 3 inch?

Just for the record, the LiteSpec is NOT a 3" system. It uses 80mm tubing, which comes out to 3.149" in American.

I like it... I was really close to buying one even though I already have an exhaust. Oh well, maybe one day.

Please consider making a dual outlet system for the X. Nice work, but Im not interested in a single.

Doesn't the hole that goes thru the muffler look awful small!? Shouldn't it be 3" like the rest of it? Wouldn't that be a restriction!?
