TITANIUM MIDPIPE???
 
Hello All!


I had an idea to run a full titanium exhaust on my FRS, but I didn't want to go the single exit route like Tomei. I found a shop local to me in Florida that had prototyped an axle back that I fell in love with. I purchased that impulsively before I had done my research properly. I then found the Tomei Titanium straight pipe, but I couldn't find anyone that makes a Ti midpipe that fits in the stock location. Only Tommy Kaira produces a stand alone version, but I really don't want to spend $1700 on just the mid pipe. LOL. I have looked everywhere and then even started looking for someone to fab one for me, but that is also proving difficult because most people don't weld Titanium. I have found one person locally willing to do it, but I still would rather find one to buy.


So my question is, do any of you knowledgeable people know of anyone who makes and sells a Titanium midpipe for our cars?


Thank you in advance.

You want a titanium mid pipe, but don't want to pay the amount for a titanium mid pipe?

:word:

Titanium isn't cheap, nor is it cheap to get someone to work with it. Good luck to you sir!

Lol. I don't mind paying the money. I mean I have the money. Tommy Kaira is great, but I believe that there is also some inflation in the price because of who they are. I am also looking for something that I can obtain stateside without waiting for it to get made and shipped over from Japan. But thanks for your helpful input.

We can easily do it :) We have flanges, resonators and all materials instock and do plenty of custom Titanium work.

Here's our Ti Overpipe and frontpipe

And here's a custom Titanium axleback we just finished on a honda. Everything made in house, even the muffler.

I actually emailed them before and never got a reply back. Lol. I probably sent it to wrong email.
