They sell a non-resonated version, but it's metal, just cut it and weld in a replacement pipe.

Granted you will have to find someone that can do titanium.

Do you know roughly how much a metal or titanium replacement pipe will cost?

Which one do you have? If you have the Ti version I suggest selling it and buying the non resonated version. Titanium is very difficult to work with and weld so make sure you even have a local shop that could do the work. That is a VERY expensive exhaust to ruin and even if you have the stainless version I would still sell it and buy a new one over mangling that nice exhaust.

Yea i was hoping there would be a way to do it, but im most likely not going to sell it and buy a non-resonated one because i picked the exhaust up for only $950, so its not worth it just to make the car sound a little bit nicer haha.
