Default Tanabe Ultra Titanium Exhausts

Would anyone have any feedback with regards to the Tanabe Ultra Titanium Exhausts. Good or bad?

Specially made for Sp Engineering. 96-00 Honda Civic 2 Dr.
Instead of the regular 60mm piping these exhausts are 70mm.

Thanks in advance

Tanabe Ultra Medalion titanium exhaust for $756.50 from inlinefour. For 02 and up RSX it says add another $76.50 Looks like a really nice exhaust, but IMO not worth it for the money. I'd get a fujitsubo or RSR EX Mag GTII..

Is it just me, or is that not an actual titanium exhaust?

I think that the canister was the only titanium piece. The rest was just SS. Waste of money.

You guys think it would be worthwhile to find out the price then? I think this is the only exhaust that has 70mm piping.

Its 70mm...Im pissed. I just bought the normal Tanabe Racing medallion in 60mm, and with my turbo I want a larger exhuast but don't like thermal.

That makes sense,

lightweight titanium canister and tip

The b-piping is constructed off full stainless steel 1.2mm SUS304

800 and change is alot, especially if just the canister and tip only are titanium

I heard this exhaust on a DC5 type R the other day. (yes it was a real RHD dc5 type R) it sounded really good I really liked the look of it. But I dont believe it is worth that much money there are plenty other exhausts that would be just as good for 200$ cheaper.
