Default Novel catted exhaust manifolds

Anyone know the weight of the SS Novel exhaust manifolds w/ high-flow cats?



I am trying to decide if there is any weight savings and along with the power increase, if it is worth the high price

go ppe same power level save thousands! and install cats later if you decide its too loud or stinky. Im nervous about the sound level increase but i have been told by two rcf ppe header owners it is not much louder. only crazy loud if you have the MUSA Miestercraft system

I can try finding out for you.. OR you can find out for yourself when it arrives on your doorstep.

Aren't people with the PPE headers having lots of issues with CELs? I thought I heard the O2 conditioners weren't working well on the RCF application, and some people were hoping for a fix via a tune.

I loved the PPE headers on my ISF, and they didn't add too much to the overall loudness, but definitely made the sound nicer.

Not sure if there are CELs with the Novel headers either.

Yeah, don't want to deal with CEL issues and also need to pass emissions inspection. They can't give me crap if I can show them there is at least one set of cats present since I will be taking out the second set by installing the new cat-back exhaust once I get it. It would be great to have matching Titan exhaust manifolds but that would most likely just be ridiculously expensive. SS is still a step up from stock as far as long term durability and should shave off some weight as well.

Amuse also make headers for the RCF? The full length Novel headerback setup sounds amazing. I wonder how Novel headers would sound paired with the Amuse catback.

I'm considering Amuse catback as well but the pricing is kind of steep.

There were multiple variables when deciding which exhaust to go with:

- Cost (of course we want best for the cheapest)
- Looks (wanted oval tips to look more like stock...didn't really want round)
- Weight (shave off weight to add to total weight loss goals for car)
- Power (wanted as much as possible to add in to the power goal of 500hp+)

My three main choices were JoeZ SS catback, Amuse Titan catback, and GTHaus Titan catback.

GTHaus was too expensive...JoeZ was cheapest but had round tips and was heaviest of the group...almost didn't get the Amuse b/c it was still pricey but when I found out I could get oval Titan tips at no extra cost, that made up my mind. If I am spending this money, I want something that will last and I will be completely satisfied with. I don't want regrets down the road.

I am not aware that Amuse makes Titan exhaust manifolds.
