RE-Amemiya Dolphin Tail Titan Muffler
Here's a picture of this exhaust. I can't read Japanese & I wanted to know if an exhaust like this (which cost $1688 US) is actually worth it. According to it's name I'm assuming it's made out of titanium. There's also another price for it & that one says $1875 US. If anyone knows alot more knowledge about this exhaust I will definitely like to hear more about it. Thanks

Same thing I was saying, then again RE-Amemiya is catered for the Rotary market & many of their products are expensive . . . . $920+ for an Aluminum radiator

$511 for the Aluminum Pulley Kit

It's a bit expensive, but if it you are hardcore in racing, it's not bad.
It's full titanium which means its EXTREMELY light. You can probably hold onto the whole exhaust with just one hand. It's also extremely durable.
Try doing that with the true dual. You are probably shaving 60lbs.
Also, you can't really tune the exhaust with true dual. You get good midrange, but thats about it. You won't be able to benefit from the scavanging effect from a collected exhaust.
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, you can get the JIC titanium exhaust for a bit less.
Cheers.

You're paying for the JAY DEE EHM, and not much else.

Judging from the Dynograph they published at Mazdatrix their True Dual Setup peaked power at 7k rpm and it was a steady climb up the rpm range.
I know that weight savings is important but 60 pounds is 0.021% of your car's weight.

snub dispenoid, you're right that's all you're paying for is the fact that it's JDM
You guys are absolutely right. Alot of these "performance" parts are not cracked up to what their believe to be that's why I'm inquiring about it.

If it weren't so expensive, I'd love to have this exhaust. I just don't think the gains justify the cost for a street car.

I'm guessing that just a random percent you chose cause that math doesn't come out right to me lol
