Damn that sucks bro...but it's good to know that Evasive is already working on a fix for you. That says a lot about their dedication to their customers

I just asked a question. What's wrong with that? And no, they do not make Ti systems.
oh there's nothing wrong asking the question, but myself as well as others read it as if you were comparing the 2, stating that the Meagan never has been recorded to fail such as this T1R thread, assuming that you were stating meagan is better. So since you positioned it that way and I only ASSUMED, i asked how you could compare a TI product to a stainless steel one since that would be an unfair comparison. no foul no harm. woot!

Not a fan of Ti exhausts here after my J's 60 was next to impossible to get fixed. SS ftw!

This happened too soon compared to the stories about Ti exhausts others have shared.

SS definitely ftw. Ti exhausts dont have the ability to flex like ss under daily driver conditions.

Titanium is a softer metal and more brittle from what I understand. IMO, 70RT's have been on the market for quite some time so I'm willing to bet this was a blemish or freak accident situation.

$2000+ Amuse systems have suffered rattling and detoriation problems before so I feel this is not a T1R exclusive problem.

That said, If/when I can donate my car to strictly track use I will use a 70mm single Ti exhaust, but for DD and street use SS is probably the way to go.

Good luck either way Vito.
