I love when people comment that they don't like the "Cut weld, cut weld" look of titanium car pieces....

Sometimes functional just isn't pretty.......

Ever tried to bend titanium piping? Not very easy to do without it cracking/completely losing shape.

Your X is an inspiration to my choice in modification.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Just posting some pic's in case someone else is wondering what it looks like.

I like the fact it isn't super loud.

LOL, what can I say? Sometimes I like to get things that other people don't like... But it has to be functional! I say I succeeded! haha

My Titanium piping on my Trust exhaust is mandrel bent and looks nice. That on the other hand kind of looks like ***. I had an Ultimate Racing SS downpipe a while ago and has the same sort of contruction. Didn't make good #'s either.

Ummm whoever is under the impression that an ARC ti is as quiet as stock is dead *** wrong. bigger piping equals more sound. Solid steel is louder than mild steel (what the stocker is made of) and Titanium is much louder than solid steel. So bigger piping and titanium construction is gonna mean a lot of noise.

No, not really. It's a tad louder than stock. Look it up on youtube.

Maybe I should have mentioned this exhaust is actually named the ARC titanium "silencer" exhaust.

^^ then I would guess that there are a bunch of neckdowns/internal resonators/and a bunch of twisty bends inside the muffler itself. I'm curious to see the performance gains on this thing.

I truly do not believe that you can have the best of both world in times of a very quiet exhaust and maximum flow.
