I got a great deal on some stainless 2.5 cutouts and I need to know if the entire exhaust system is Ti or just the back section with the mufflers is Ti...If it's steel up to the Ti muffler section then it will workout perfect for me thanks...

If you just plan on opening those cutouts you're looking for trouble...
You're exhaust is now aimed right at the rear spring and cutouts like that have been known to cause the rear spring to collapse due to the exhaust that is aimed right at the rear spring.
If you're going to use those you need to add enough tubing to get past the exhaust or you're going to smoke the rear fiberglass spring...

Been there... Last spring I had an on track "oops" and bent my left Ti muffler. After repairing the damage the damage to the car I didn't have time to find another axle back exhaust before the next track day. I had a friend make me some turn down pipes so I could run on track. Unfortunately they didn't turn down enough and I melted the rear spring by the afternoon of the first day. Here is what a melted spring looks like...
The right side completely failed and the left wasn't doing much. It was a major pain to get the car on the trailer with no rear suspension...

Thanks for the heads up guys I did turn down the hell out of them and I'm sure it's enough...I also barely drive the car and rarely drive it at high speeds...so I should be fine right? Just be careful when I actually do track it?

An option is to swap to coilovers so you don't have to worry about melting your leaf spring.

Anyone ever wonder what these extensions do to exhaust flow when capped? Pulse hits end, tries to travel back, hits next pulse partway back upstream in main tubes...? Gotta have a negative effect, never mind it'll change the exhaust note I would think.
Just me?
