Tomei 60s

Hi! I currently have a revworks uel headers, nameless op/fp catted w/ helmholtz and a lachute performance catback...

I wanted to change for a single tip exhaust but wanted to know before if it would be louder than it is right now...

Plus i'm wondering if it's really made out of titanium..?

It's going to be really loud. Listen to me, don't be that asshole with a loud, slow car (if this is your daily driver). I'm pretty sure your setup right now is quite loud, with the 60s it's going to be crazy loud... If I were, get the Tomei 80r!

Yeah, what they said. I've heard audio clips of some cars with Tomei header, fp, and 60s and it sounds insanely loud.

It is full titanium too. That's why you pay so much and why it's so light.

Loll WTH man. I fixed the slow car with a kraftwerks kit. It is loud and pretty fast too :P

My setup right now is loud but not insane loud. My BRZ isn't my daily driver. But I will listen to your advice and take something else.

I don't get the part where you say to take a 80R instead. It must be louder !

If it's titanium, how the hell did they keep the price so low...

Sorry for the grammatical error, but what I meant to say at the end was, if you're going to go big, might as well go for the Tomei Type 80. I wouldn't say it's FULL titanium but I would go as far as to say it's up to around 30-40% titanium... honestly I don't even know how much of it is actually titanium! It could very much be a marketing gimmick, eh.

I have stock header, front pipe and over pipe with the Tomei 60s. It's already loud enough for me. Still want Tomei headers though!

Here's their explanation of their titanium exhausts: http://www.tomeipowered.com/BTE/inde...-ti-explained/

They don't say specifically how much titanium is used, but even if it's not 100% it is certainly a significant amount considering the weight reduction from stock and compared to other SS aftermarket catbacks.
