Sure looks pretty but I do not care how good it may sound. I am no where in the league to spend >$8K for a muffler. For that kind of money I expect headers and power gains.
Sorry but that's a bit ridiculous.
I'd get the GT2 seats instead.

Wow, out of my league. But to be fair, as soon as you get in to the 'T' word (Titanium), you're talking big bucks. Ya' gotta decide if the weight saving of titanium justifies the price (it sure doesn't for me), but if it does, that's the entry fee. Separately, their pieces sure look like they are really really well made.
BTW, I feel the same way about lug bolts made out of the same stuff. What's the price of those? How much weight do they save? I accept that reducing unsprung weight is golden. But wow.

I'm confused. What does the "box" do? In the top pic it looks like it has normal mufflers. The second pic looks like a high flow cat setup with no mufflers and a "box". And the 3rd pic, just the "box".
So what is the box?

One is a race system with titanium headers, cats, and just the silencer "box".
The third is just the silencer, made to work with factory headers, cats, and mufflers.

The so called "box" is a resonator. Akin to the stock one present in the center rear of the GT3/RS's. Probably a higher flowing resonator.
Those headers to my eye are not in anyway impressive. They look very similar to stock design or even the Fabspeed headers.
I wonder whatever happened to the Supersprint headers & exhaust system I saw about over a year ago? Those were some interesting pipes and design. Were they ever released for sale?
