While titanium is nice, the quality is not worth the cost. we're talking about an exhaust here. It's going to basically do nothing for your gains.

Spending that much for a cat back with minimal gains? Idiotic in my opinion but to each their own. (Just because you could, doesn't mean you should).

Not sure why it's so hard to understand that some people like the finer things in life in different aspects.
It's like saying, why go to a nice steak house and get a nice dry aged steak? Why not just go to your local grocery store and get a piece of skirt steak and eat that? It pretty much has the same nutritional value. Might as well shop for all your clothes at Walmart. It's not like those more expensive pair of jeans do any better job of being pants. It is brand name and it is really expensive, but it's not always just about the performance aspect. It's also about how it makes you feel about your purchase. If it puts a smile on your face, then what's wrong with that? People enjoy spending their own hard earned money in different ways. |

Tommy Kaira was the worst sounding exhaust I've ever heard for its price. The fact people pay that much for sounding like shit is amazing.

Is it expensive for an exhaust? Yes.
Is it expensive for a titanium exhaust? Not at all. Titanium is used for weight savings. If you're going to argue that it's not going to be any bigger gains, might as well use a mild steel exhaust instead of that nice stainless setup... |
