Default Got Titanium?

So here it is. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, my new exhaust is finally here. The piping is stainless steel with a small resonator. The muffler is a titanium unit that weighs close to nothing. The entire system (piping included) weighs only 13 pounds!!!!!


I ll be installing this tonight (hopefully) and will report back tomorrow on the sound. There is a silencer included which should help a little. List price on the single outlet that you see above is $880.
If you need and specific info or pricing on this or any other JIC product, let me know. As a new sponsor to the board, RaceBred Engineering is also carrying JIC Magic Suspension Project products

Looks good. Does the pipe have to be welded onto the muffler?? It looks like it is not connected....

Doc, that exhaust looks very nice. But is JIC made in Japan. I just need somebody to confirm on that.

Thank you Dan, you are exactly correct. The company is in fact in Japan. They have a location stateside here in Southern California as well. In fact, within the next month or so, they are moving to a much larger facility. This is not only a stocking wherehouse, but an actual tuning shop. These guys take this stuff very seriously. They have an in house dyno and all the equipment to a race spec alignment and corner weight balancing.

And yes, that is an AP1 exhaust This is s2ki

I am embarrassed to ask, since I spend so much time on S2KI, but what is the significance of "AP1"?
