Titatium Exhaust - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Pete · 09-13-2018

Just wondering if there would be any interest for full 3" Titanium exhaust.
Would be half the weight and last forever.

I have a chance to get good price if we can do 10 @ $1750 each
Compare to some of the stainless exhausts $1750 is a bargain for Ti-Exhaust.

Any thoughts and ideas appreciated.

Sounds interesting Pete.
We talking a complete exhaust system with resonator, mufflers, tips? Photos or drawings would help.

Pete,

What would u say the weight of an SS exhaust system like urs or mine is?

Pete · 09-14-2018

Phil this is from collectors to mufflers (2) dual tips w/45 degree cut.
No resonator, X-pipe if someone wants quieter can install CATS.

I never really weighed them i have lifted a few stainless steel exhaust's and they are heavy i'd say about 75 lbs +-

If you sell your exhaust it will counter the cost for the Ti exhaust.

I'd be interested.

I'd be interested. If you had one available now, you could use my car to test fit since you already have it in the shop.

FYI, I posted this back in 2014 on exhaust system weights:

I went back and looked up an old article I wrote on exhaust systems for the original Registry newsletter in the late '90s. As part of my research I had weighed the stock (from a '93), Borla and Corsa cat back systems. All three systems weighed an identical 64 pounds.

A little Googling indicates that a Titanium exhaust system is approximately 40% lighter than a comparable Stainless one, so such a system would logically weigh about 38-40 pounds--Bob

I am def intrigued. I have had two titanium exhausts on my last two cars. I had a amuser1t on my 08 350z which i believed weighed somewhere around 20 lbs for mid pipe back system. Also had a tomei titanium exhaust on my 06 subaru sti. That thing weighed like 12 lbs. I love the sound of titanium. 1750 is a good price. my one for the z was over 3g's new. Tomei was like 1g so big price difference. I didnt necessarily notice a weight difference in the car itself. The sound though is something wonderful. I would say prob look up the ericcson e92 m3 on youtube and it might sound same for zr? Are you going to have them just do raw titauium or do some burnt ti? The mufflers and tips would look good with burnt (gradiations)? I think that is what they call them.

Im interested but will depend on the look. As much as I want the Ti and the weight resduction aesthetics is most important for me. Any info on how many pieces or just 1 piece piping? Tip type/sizes etc.
