veilside titanium teardrop.

if u find 1, let me know where from dude.

and i would say they r all pretty much on par with each other.

basic rules r; make sure its an 80mm and find the straightest, and lightest 1.


i think the veilside hits all the basics....

HKS one is 75mm
Trust TI-R is same as GReddy Ti everyone talks about here, just without the rolled lips, regular Ti is 70mm
Mines has 80mm and 90mm, Amuse has 70mm and 80mm, Monster Sport has 70mm and 80mm, ARC is 70mm and 80mm, I'm not sure about AP Boss. There are bazillion more. Trust probably would be the cheapest out of all and amongst the best performance. ARC is craftmanship and Amuse is probably the best sound. But all of them weigh between 4.5-5.5kg (10-12lbs). Unless you get some titanium solution for testpipe/downpipe section that is 75-80mm, you're not gonna get much weight saving over Buschur Racing or GSC's

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. HKS, Trust, and JIC are known to make great products. However I know that obtaining an HKS Ti Spec R is going to be a little difficult because you have to specially import it, so the price isn't going to be cheap.

You can also check out Garage HRS Ti exhaust. It has a 90mm piping and it's about $1,800 - $1,900.

HKS makes full Ti, 75mm, its called Ti Spec R as 'tvbf1' mentioned, just that HKS USA don't sell it yet.
No ARC does not make 10lbs nor 4lbs TBE. They make 70mm and 80mm catback exhaust which weigh about 4.5-5.0kg (10-11lbs). Pretty much all downpipes you get in the market are stainless steel (you may find some titanium ones in Japan but very difficult to get) and weigh about 6-7lbs.

If you want best performance for minimal weight while making sure exhaust gas don't burn stuff inside your engine bay, just have a custom piping solution after the turbo, made in Ti, that will dump the gas somewhere around the front-right quarter panel. I'm sure the $3,000-$3,500 you'll spend on those bling JDM pipes, you can use that money to pay for the materials, design and labor.

The Veilside one looks superb but they are nearly impossible to get a hold of. I tried for over a year with no luck but then i stumbled across the mines system, seems to flow exceptionally well. Perfect fitment, 90mm full ti, very light , very lairy and loud. Expensive but IMHO worth every single £.

Some pics of it Mines VX Pro Titan 90mm
