Does ExoticSpeed have a new exhaust?

the blue color is for making it look like sex. plain and simple.
the only draw back I see with this is they used rivets for the tips...they must be titanium. my agency power exhaust uses the same style and they started to rattle after a few thousand miles

here's a bit more info from their website, but no word on weight. no claimed hp gains that i saw - which is refreshing. but anyway. sound and weight are my interests...i've been thinking about getting the borla so this could be a nice option...

hmm, I may consider this...although the rivets on the tips don't sit well with me. If I knew the Agency Power's tips started rattling after a while, I would not have bought it

i think they should redesign how the tips attach....like with the HKS Hi-Power it bolts on I think...the rivets just don't do the job....too much heat and causes the rivets to separate and rattle like it's a pile of junk

anyone else comment on this set-up? his experience makes me write this one off immediately if it very likely to rattle at some point...for that much money i'd want it to last w/o having a cheap rattle sound.

i have the old system and the tips are riveted. i put 14k km on it this summer and no rattle. and the catless midpipe, is retarded loud. i think i might find a highflow one for next summer. other then that the exhaust i have is high quality, all the welding is flawless and looks good.

I am waiting on their S1 exhaust, it had been shipped off on Thursday, so hopefully it wont be too long before I get it.
This is the reply I received in regards to the difference between the two exhausts:
"FOR A DAILY DRIVER , FOR SURE YOU WANT TO GO WITH S1-T , S1 MAKES THE SOUND DEEP AND NOT LOUD. THE R1 IS MORE PREFERRED FOR RACING USE AND SLIGHTLY LOUDER BUT MAKES A SLIGHTLY BETTER ON TORQUE AND WOULD HELP THE TURBO SPOOL UP QUICKER.THEY BOTH SOUND VERY SIMILAR , DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL FLOW SOUND.
THE S1 IS SURELY ENOUGH FOR STREET USE AND SMALL TURBO APPLICATION.
UP TO 350HP RANGE , THE S1 IS THE BEST CHOICE.
FOR OVER 350HP AND MORE , THE R1 WOULD BE THE BETTER CHOICE"

they'd need to post a video of the sound before i would buy it. right now i'm leaning borla, just disapointed its not very light. i'll check you tube.
