Default Titanium exhaust input

Just purchased an S few months back.
Been reading a lot past posts.

I'm looking to get a full dual outlet titanium exhaust that is not too much louder than stock's.
So far the only one I can find is Amuse Euro.
Is there any other options?

I'm thinking about building one myself if there is no cheaper options out there.

Titanium exhausts aren't worth the price, and are way too hard to build custom. The weight savings don't even provide a measurable benefit, so it's pretty pointless.

You're talking about saving 10-20lbs tops for about 3-4 times the cost of a quality stainless exhaust. Not worth it at all.

actually I remembered a system that was introduced here on s2ki, but I haven't seen many with it. Fairly priced for a full titanium system, and close to most stainless ones.

Sadly most full TI exhaust are $$$$$$
I actually like how the amuse Ti exhaust sound but I wouldn't spend $2k+ on a exhaust system, don't have that kind of money for an exhaust.
I wouldn't mind buying a beat up/trashed up Ti exhaust as long as the axle back is in fair conditions. If i had the money I wouldn't mind buying a gernby mid pipe and mounting it on a salvageable Ti exhaust One could only dream

I agree with the comments above. Ti exhaust are pricey and not worth it. I had an Amuse R1000 it's a sexy exhaust but was way too much (lost a bunch of $$$ reselling it).

Best bang for the buck is the Berk's 3 inch exhaust. Not as loud, very affordable and makes good power too.
