The price on raw titanium almost doubled over the course of this past year, so all Ti products are getting extremely expensive to produce (anything from exhausts, to valve retainers, even lugnuts). You can even see how much Greddy had to increase the price on their exhaust. That being said, the Ti version of the Helix exhaust is on hold until Ti pricing settles down.

We'll keep everyone posted

Thanks

@799 it is a steal for a 12 lb exhaust. I wish i got one of those. i wonder what the total savings would be over a full stock piece. Im guessin 30 lbs almost?

Because it's GAY.

At least when they only put it on the edge of the tip you can wipe it off with some steel wool.

If only someone could take some steel wool to that filthy mouth of yours.

It doesn't exist, and probably never will, so I doubt anyone can answer that.

It's got to be out!

I seen it today in the local speed shop Vakamon's in Honolulu. Very nice! You can balance the whole exhaust on a finger. Soo light! But the welds or f*** up! If you look down into the piping the lag is in the pipe bad about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. It's NOT smooth by no chase. That will cause the exhaust gasses not to flow straight though boucing all over the tubing. Soo tell me what's up with that.

Exactly why companies like the Magnaflow stopped their Ti exhaust line (made in the same factory as JIC) and for the fact interest wasnt that high due to the price but now that its gone.....everyone wants one?!
