Default JIC Titanium Exhaust System

Was wondering if any of you guys have put on the JIC Bullet Twin Spartan (Titanium) exhaust system? I am curious as to what how it sounds and how much extra HP it provides.

Very interesting, they even have one for SC's.

Anybody know who distributes them? I did a search on Google for the part # I need and it ONLY came up with that first site...

Ouch... $1380!!! Nice looking exhaust, but for that much money, that thing should also wash my GS and give me a complimentary reach around!

No way I'd pay $1380 for a set of cat-back.

Ok I think I can comment on this exhaust since I have heard it on the 300ZX and it is SO loud that it makes your teeth rattle.. Like Richie said the Titanium look is very cool but not my cup of tea for that price range..

I guess if you want something different it might be a nice toy for the GS but I will warn ya that it is SCARY loud.. Makes your car sound like you have no exhaust is the best description I can give!

Just my 2 cents..

I guess they think because we have a Lex we will pay anything for an exhuast system..........$1380 they can keep it and the bubble wrap it comes in.

those are not made for the second gen. GS, the number on the model is jzs147, which is kinda surprising since they also have the LS430 listed there

Have you guys priced Titanium lately? It's not a inexpensive metal to work with. The gains are in weight. Titanium is light and strong...and expensive...that's just how it is...
