Custom Exhaust Question

[Butterleggs]

They did come out with the R1 Titan but that still around 3500-4k. But damn is that thing sexy.

Thanks

Like said, a good welder, given enough time and money, can weld up anything you want under there ...... as long as it will fit.

The upside is ...... that it would be unique.

The downside is ....... might sound like crap.

Do you feel lucky ..... ??

Well, yes, it is perty.....but, how much time are you and your buddies, going to spend laying on your backs, on the ground, looking up the the muffler(s) on your car ..... ??

I have a custom titanium exhaust in my car and it sounds great. JDL Auto Design made a large portion of mine and its great. Plus their customer service was amazing. Anyone that can put up with me is very special. LOL

Did you have it created and shipped? Also do you have any videos or pics?

I have both. Mine was a chance occurrence as well as a desperate search. LOL. There is a shop in Florida that made a couple of prototype Titanium axle back exhausts. They then decided to not move on to production. I was fortunate enough to purchase one of their prototypes. I then purchased the Tomei Titanium front pipe. And now for the desperate search part.

I am an impulse buyer, so I purchased the exhaust after little research or deliberation. I just assumed that Tomei made the other pieces... I was wrong.

I was then stuck with a Titanium exhaust and front pipe with nothing to connect them. I searched and searched for a manufacturer that produced a stock-like mid pipe out of titanium. Nothing. Except for Tommy Kaira that was ridiculously expensive. After contacting every local welder and fabricator that I knew, plus every one in Florida that I could find on Google, I had almost given up.

I took to the forums as a last resort for help. Some suggested that I contact JDL, and I did. They produced a beautiful Titanium mid pipe for my car that allowed it to scream.

The videos are when I just installed it. The Titanium actually had to kinda break in. It sounds even better now and like an absolute banshee at high revs.

I was very happy with their work and customer service.
