regular exhaust Vs Ti -06
Hi
What is the real difference between them except for the weight difference?
Sound? Breathes better?
Or no big difference at all
Thanks
Alan

Ti vs regular exhause
Alan, I did the swap on my 2003 coupe. The Ti is very slightly louder at idle(a little less "tinny" which was good to my ears). At full throttle there is more difference 'tho you wouldn't call it loud. Regards, Ralph Boineau in central South Carolina

The Ti's look 100% better than that left over Cadillac Crap that GM morphed on to the C5 exhaust, there a lot lighter, and they do sound better.
Like "rboineau" stated, you wont hear much difference at idle but WOT,,,
they perk right up!
With a NEW CAM, they get louder. I wish I would have kept my Ti's
Get them. If you don't like them, you can sell them for what you paid for them.

I think it's kind of a fade to have TI's even I keep thinking
that I want them. But I only buy items that make more
power and no one's convincd me to buy them. Yes they
are lighter but heck if you are worried about weight go on
a diet. Sound does not make power.

Ti is the best bang for $400
*14% increase in exhaust flow.
*Saves 17+ pounds compared to the standard steel set-up
*Better looking tips than standard
*Will never corrode
*MUCH cheaper than most aftermarket brands (even compared to used)
Mature sound until you stomp on the loud pedal... and then again it's a "classy" scream with no interior resonance and very little (if any) popping on deceration.
My experience is with headers the sound is not too loud and no drone but I am older and that is important to me. Arvin Industries designed and constructed these for GM and there is an informative article on the subject available -- search if interested. Trust this is helpful...
