Ppe make a long header with cats??
guess they can prolly custom cut some cats in somewhere.
I wouldn’t stress too much about the inspection in Ga. Never ever had one place whip a mirror out to look
for cats beneath the car. If you don’t have a check engine light, and car don’t smell like a gas bomb, you’ll be fine.
Koni,
my Ti mesti muffler pipes had cracked once. Had to get a local shop to repair.
No guarantees the mid will crack or the rears won’t.
Get the whole Ti if that’s what you want.
I only know of novel and icode that has resonated Ti mids.
Keoni,
if you’re worried about Tracey/noise, guess you prob need to stay where you’re at.
Or may be a valved rear section???
Actually they don't, just some PPE vendors will offer the high flow cats as an add-on which would be welded on to the front pipes after the headers during installation. I seem to recall PPE offering this option once upon a time, now they don't, Figs still does.
However, I now see that PPE is doing a mid pipe for the LC500 with cats and resonators!
Did you request one for your RCF from PPE? I don't see it listed on their product page for RCF.

Was it easy finding a shop willing to work on titanium?
As for Ti mids many have the resonators as options such as Powerhouse Amuse, Rowen, Tom's
By the way what is the diameter on the meisterschaft mid pipes? Just curious, I don't see that information anywhere.
Finally, what are your thoughts about pipe diameter and performance? Some say going wider in diameter you may loose low end torque but gain it on the top end.
As for diameters this is what I have gathered;
ARH 3"
PPE 2.5"
Rowen 2.3 "
Powerhouse 3"
Tom's 2.7 to 2.3 pipes
Keoni,
What does you butt dyno feel with your ARH mid-pipes?
if I went muffler delete, check out this 2.5" valved dual exit:
That looks right! Pretty much what my mesti valves are like except those are mounted on side vs inline.
If you want super throaty, I still have the mesti stainless mid pipe. No resonators. ;}

Mine were custom made by PPE.

Actually that wasn’t, but there were a few in Atl.

Ahh I forgot about Tom’s. That would work but the price is out of this world. Don’t know if the Amuse or Rowen would bolt up to oem rears. I only spoke of the two I knew would.
I don’t have the mesti pipe diameter. If I had to guess, it’s around 2.75”. It’s bigger than the ppe and smaller than than the Arh.
Yes, the ARH did loose a tad bit of low end in my opinion. Even the mesti one did just a tad. If you’re street racing, then not great, but daily driving it’s not that noticeable.
Front camera install (Sonic Electronics Interface) with OEM style Camera button.
Steering wheel LED / Flat Bottom installed. I like the way the RPM lit up on the wheel, turn signal has sweeping LED in yellow on corresponding side of the wheel, hazard or unlocking my car has the wheel flashing in red LED sweeping. Stitching pattern and colors to match OEM shifter stitching.
Got the Seibon spoiler and RC350 Trunk Extension (note, it does not fit well, not made for the RCF, but it was a gamble when ordering and I knew I could sell it later - waiting for the Rowen version of the trunk extension).
Removed my RC350 (and equivalent trunk style) CF wing extender and put on a proper one - Rowen.
I was turned off on the cost of a simply extender, my brother's Ferrari Modena CF front bumper lip cost the same?!... So I saw this RC350 lip on eBay, where else, and physically looked the same and didn't think it would cover my active spoiler. Got it in the mail and if mounted fully flush it would have covered the active spoiler and prevent it from rising; so I installed it not fully seated so that it still looked visibly appealing and active spoiler still functioned.
I now have a Rowen piece, removed my RC350 one (will be putting it on the marketplace soon), and I love it!! The weave of the Rowen does not match the OEM weave of the active spoiler however it DOES match the weave pattern of the Seibon C Wing they sell.
