New exhaust from Odula

Looks crazy with the twist and turns! Wonder what it does for performance...



Check out their website for the video clip. Definitely loud but seems very bassy.

jeez, thats a lot of turns, sharp ones at that. How come japanese companys make there exhausts look so complicated? Can you really increase power with adjust the way it bends or something, in this case it looks like they think it would.

Holy restriction! There is no way that this exhaust is better than anything out there now. I can't see how so many bends would make this a good flowing exhaust. Anyone with more knowledge want to chime in at anytime?

It looks cool though.

but do you really think they are going to say... "our exhaust looks nice and sounds nice, but the restriction is plenty and really doesn't improve the performance"? I'm not being a wise*** but they are trying to sell it.

Is there anyone that knows alot about exhaust designs on this forum?

sure devious but at least get them to give their reasoning. it might just be a way to tune the sound after those small cans who knows? let them explain themselves

Not even nice smooth mandrel-bent bends, but what seems like steppedfabricated ones!!

Has to be heavier with all that metal unless it is 100% titanium like those tips, the video sounds good.

i understand what you guys are saying about the excessive bends......but IMHO it is a work of art. it probably may only gain a few hp at most and give a better sound but it looks sexy as hell. kinda like those $5000 tubi exhaust systems for ferraris.

btw....anyone know the price on this one?

Does it show? I mean, doesn't it just tuck in behind the heat sheild like most after market 8 exhausts? Thus, work of art is meaningful in practical terms?

It looks like it's fully titanium. That would explain the welded bends getting a mandrel bend in Ti is grossly expensive.
