I have the option of purchasing a titanium full exhaust hand made by a company called X-Ost Maranello for my (pending) GT3. I found a couple of clips and the exhaust sounds plenty loud but it's hard to judge just from sounds clips. Has anyone heard one in person?

The guy paid $5,600 for it and is willing to give me a hell of a deal on it. He says it is 29lbs less than the stock exhaust, increases power by 12-15HP, and retains the "sport" button valve functions.

Any input would be appreciated!

I never heard of that make?

I would urge caution as Ti has cracking problems. Only two mfg's I know of that stand behind quality are FVD or Akropovic. Never heard of them cracking.

Beware...

 

I had never heard of them before either. It seems that they do mainly Ferrari exhausts (their factory is right across from the Ferrari factory) but now also do some other brands too.

I don't know - the current owner is a long time P-car owner and is a driving instructor for Porsche and he swears this exhaust is the highest quality he has ever seen.

I guess if the stock exhaust sound is too mellow for me I could give it a try and always take it off and sell it here if it's too loud for my taste.

I found a few more vids of the exhaust...what do you guys think of the sound?

Guys, do your self a favour and get this exhaust.. It makes your car sound like a cup car.
