Default Titanium Single-tipped Exhaust

Does anyone know of a titanium single-tipped dual exhaust for the F?

The reason I ask is that I saw a USB F with them today. The F was sporting what seemed to be manufacturer plates, and it was dropped with black 19s/polished lip and had a TEIN sticker on the trunk. I saw it on the freeway and the exhaust was pretty quiet, so that got me interested.

The only single tip exhaust I've seen is on the Tanabe and I know that was never produced, nor was it titanium.

You more than likely saw the SEMA 2008 / Import Tuner & Tein / Blue IS-F... (owned by Lexus USA)

With what I think was a "one off" axle back exhaust.

Fujitsubo Exhaust w/Titanium tips.

Looks OK

but I can't get past the LARGE round tips coming out of a slanted square hole...

That's just my opinion..

Thanks Joe Z! I knew your or Flipside would come through!

Yea you're right, now that I take a second look, it does look a bit weird. Is HKS ever going to release their prototype titanium slanted tip exhaust? That one was awesome!

Maybe you were thinking about the FIGS axle back? I think he used HKS cans.

Yeah no one was interested in a dual can design so I just held off dumping any more money in developing it. I guess weight savings < looks in this crowd. I wish there was an economical way of making a quad ti...true ti anyway.

I still don't think it looks that bad.

^^ Honestly, not to beat a dead horse in here.....

BUT, the actual 4 Exhaust Tips are connected to the oem mufflers.

The (2) Dual Stacked Tipped Exhaust Diffusers are connected to the bumper..

End Story

No doubt. You might want to discuss this problem with Ferrari California or Bugatti Veyron owners since their cars have an identical set up.
