I have a feeling that isn't real titanium however I also would not put something like that on my car. It probably would match the purple paint though (malbec)

Says its 100% titanium. Total weight advertised is 8lbs, so it certainly could be.

So it probably weighs about 1lb less lol...Stupid investment for just an axleback. Someone get the standard version and report back to use!

Do you have any other exhaust mods or will this be your setup along with everything else OEM?

Try to get some sound clips up if you can.

Thanks

So I just recieved it in the mail. It was packagd pretty terribly which resulted in the pipes getting a few small chips throught the stainless steel "plating". The actual stainless steel coating is super thin and I have a feeling it's going to rust pretty fast, especially at the chipped areas. I emailed them about it and haven't heard back yet. I might get some silver high temp paint and cover the chips with it. Unfortunately some are at the exhaust tip which blows. If it wasn't chipped in a few spots I would be pretty happy about it though. I'll post clips once I get it on my car. I only have K&N drop in filters, all other stuff that could affect sound is OEM

What ever you don't paint them as it will not match at all, I have a can of rustolium high temp silver paint that I use last year on my exhaust under the car, it look's fine under the car as you can't see it LOL, but it will not match the polished parts at all, it almost look's like silver with a hint of white mixed in and I have never seen chrome high temp paint.

Would sure be grateful for that sound clip.

Somewhat expecting sound of the normal muffler delete, but intrigued nonetheless.

I'll be honest, I dropped down the mufflers myself on my 13 sedan sport, and I didn't like it. The tone was ok, but it still quiet.

I'm still interested to see if the straight pipes on the top speed make a difference though.

Still waiting on the video =[

I bought this Top Speed muffler delete kit this week and installed it on my 2007 G35S yesterday. The quality was pretty good and I didn't find any notible defects except one minor fitment issue for my car. The slots cut into the end of the new pipe where it attaches to the stock exhaust pipe are about a .25" too deep. You are limited on how far you can slide the new exhaust on due to the bevel bump on the stock exhaust pipe. Once clamped on this causes a small amount of the slots to be exposed and leak. You can fix this by just cutting .25" off the slotted ends before installing. Also don't over tighten the clamps or the bolts will snap. I did that before figuring out why it was leaking.

It sounds great outside of the car. Perfect tone in my opinion. It's a little droney on the inside while accelerating but surprisingly does not drone at all at cruising speeds. Mind you my other car is a blown coyote mustang with no mufflers so I'm used to loud exhaust setup.

Here's' a short video clip

Like I said, great tone, but still a little quiet for my liking. I wonder how much louder with test pipes.

I do appreciate the video though!
