So finally got sometime to install the Greddy Ti Exhaust.

As previously stated I had to do a slight modification to the mid pipes to include HFCs (to pass yearly MOT inspection), so I didn’t use the Greddy Ti mid-pipes, instead I had a new set made out of SS with cats and resonator.

I’ve only driven around for like 1 and half weeks and had to travel, loving it the more I drive it and reminds me of how the car used to sound with the Joe-Z Exhaust.

I was surprised to see I had a significant exhaust leak when I took of the OEM exhaust. Driver side bottom was pretty bad, and passenger side Top seems to have started to leak (below pics).

I hope this custom installation should in general give a much better compatibility between the PPE Header flanges and exhaust flanges.

Why did you go with SS mid pipe instead?

^ I don't know of anyone who can weld SS Cats to Titanium

Looks great, you can see the driver side gasket was leaking exhaust. I hate our exhaust designs. Almost all aftermarket leaks.

Several moths later, how is it? How is the sound with headers, HF cats and titanium mufflers, after everything is broken in?

What brand cats did you use?

From the pics, looks to be GESI cats.

Not using the beautiful rear Ti tips and only half of the ti exhaust that's only advantage is weight savings is making my head spin lol. But sounds amazing :P

Reviving an old thread, realised I didn't reply to some questions.

Last time I drove the car it sounds great, The car is int he UK so I get to drive it one or twice a year, last time was in summer and it sounded better than ever.

Yes I know, but sometimes you can't have everything and be 100% legal. I wanted to hassle free route which is why I installed the mid-pipes with cats

As for the tips yes the Ti Tips are beautiful but I fell in love with the ISF with how it looks with the oem tips. Love the design and it is subtle. With the Ti tips installed it would have been too pronounced for my liking and I didn't want to have to deal with the tips touching the body.

Sound levels are great, no drone. I did have the Joe-Z catless exhaust installed before this and that sounded great as well with no drone. This has a deeper tone to it from what I remember.

I would have stuck with the Joe-Z but they got lost in transport , but even with the Joe-Zs I would have had the install cats.
