Default Lite-spec TI - Exhaust

Thought people might be interested in this. I received my light-spec exhaust today which is full titanium. It is uber light my initial thought, great looking exhaust but you can kinda tell it is the first run on the exhaust. The welds are not the best looking and i received it with some scratches on the exhaust. But all in all the exhaust look pretty good i am excited to hear how it sounds. You will see in the pictures but the exhaust is going on tonight..not sure if i should do test pipe or put my stock cat back in...it seems like it will be pretty loud with the test pipe. Any opinions post it up :-)

Thx for looking



lots of light scratches and you can see the welds here.





scratched tip idk from what...



little messy welds but no holes so it should be all good..





video and pics of it installed later tonight...now i just have to wait till work is over :-\

Soooo Lite-spec has really stepped it up...I got a call from Johnny from lite-spec. I am sending the exhaust back and getting full refund and reimbursement for the shipping that i am playing to get it back to him. Also he is giving me a gift card for the troubles that Ive had with the exhaust and missed tuning days. Which I see as a great company and great customer service. If ever i was to consider this exhaust again and they had good welds on them. I might consider purchasing again based on a customer service standpoint. Great company to deal with. Hope everyone that purchased this exhaust is very happy with it. As i am happy at a customer service stand point. :-)

There are some really terrible welds! I really hope that is not what they all look like. You should send that back.

im not super picky on the welds...this is the first batch on the exhaust i didnt expect them to be perfect i guess...but well see how they hold up...Lite-spec has worked really well with me so if there are issues im sure they will help me out.

Wow, that looks ****** horrid. At first I was upset that I missed out on the GB, but now I'm glad I bought another exhaust instead.
