Unobtanium pie cut titanium intake installed.

Before Christmas I went to unobtanium welding asking if they could build me a pie cut titanium intake pipe. Today I got it installed, it looks great the quality is unreal now the question is should I burn it?

Always been a fan of his work. If I were you I would have him fab you up a one off exhaust. His exhaust work is unreal.(As I am sure you know)

Any shots of the inside? Sure the outside is pretty, but if the inside isn't as smooth as the outside, it's all for naught.

Lots and lots of Thai headers look great on the outside, but are total crap on the inside.

It's about $3,000 for a custom exhaust, I ended up finding a used ISS forged for $1,100. I was tempted to go for the Unobtanium one but I decided to cheap out

Here is a picture of his 996 exhaust. He did a deadly exhaust for my friends X5 diesel with all of the emissions controls removed.

I can attest to the quality of his work. He did a custom exhaust for my last ISF (half Borla / half unobtanium).

I think there will always be the oldschool group who go this way, something about hand built and designed work.

His inside shots are usually pretty smooth Lobux
