Thanks man. Made it from scratch.

I wish I have the machine to bend the aluminum sheets. It would make the project 10x easier.

I'm still working on my s2000 as normal, but anymore I barely have time for it. Hopefully all will stay as planned and it will be painted this summer and I will also get the custom exhaust fabricated. I'm just to busy surviving it seems. I don't have much time for anything anymore after the work week is over

Custom exhaust? 304stainless mandrel bent tig welded I'm assuming?

That would be nice. I'm still looking for a shop that can do the work the way that I want it. I haven't found any fabricators that I've been impressed with enough to trust doing this work for me. I've been trying to find someone that can and would want to fabricate something in Titanium for me, but that seems to be impossible around this area. I may have to settle for the 304 stainless steel. Anymore I've been tempting the idea of taking a welding class, buying a welder, and doing this on my own.

Titanium has to be welded in a containment tank to do it properly. 99% of shops are not equipped with a tank large enough to do a full exhaust. 304/321 stainless is MUCH more versatile/durable than titanium. Sourcing raw titanium is also a huge pain in the ass. The aerospace industry really has their claws in it.

you can just pick a j's or a litespec or even a t1r full titanium exhaust up... light spec is sub 1000 for a enw one too... you can pick a new j's 70rr for under 1300 new.

Franks problem is that with the amuse rear you can't run an oem or any other aftermarket exhaust, it has to be custom made.
