Lightest Titanium Exhaust System

I know that there's already an exhaust buyers guide thread "http://www.socalevo.net/forum/index.php?topic=17155.0" on socalevo.net but it doesn't contain information for Mine's, Monster Sport, etc. I'm just trying to find the lightest titanium exhaust system, any type of info is much appreciated!

so why waste ur time trying to save another 5-6 lbs. go with a buschur racing exhaust that weights 12 lbs and out performs them all. that would cost u 800, then u could spend the rest on other **** thats really important like a fuel pump, a clutch etc. if u really wanna cut down on weight get a mini battery kit for 150 or make one urself thats 30 lbs off the front of ur car.

buschurs TBE weighs 37lbs stock weighs 60lbs. if buschurs exhaust weighed 12lbs for $800 it would be on back-order for a long time

I'm not sure which version of Buschur TBE you have but I have the 3" v-band TBE with test pipe and the whole thing weighs 24lbs including clamps.

Sorry ARC cat-back does not weigh 4lbs, they may weigh 4-5kg (9-11lbs). ARC exhaust are usually about the same or little heavier due to big resonator and not so optimal bends. Of course the sound and craftmanship is just unbelievable but you gotta pay the price.

All these weights for Ti exhaust from Japanese companies are catback. Unless you somehow get hands on ultra rare Ti test pipe and/or downpipe (AP Boss for both, Mine's also has tpipe), it is going to end up about 17-18lbs with bolts and everything. Even with full Ti TBE, it is going to weigh about 13-14lbs.
