lightest material for exhaust?

[bazeng]

hey guys
just wanted some opinions

what would be the lightest material for an exhaust??

titanium obviously, but other than spending 10k on one, are their any other suggestions?

ss? mild? alloy?

im looking at something like a 2" exhaust

i've got a stockie, im considering using that and taking all the heat shielding off etc..

also, whats the lightest cat?
any suggestions from stock cars?

also after a really light muffler. but quite
any size
2" 1.5" whatever.. as long as its light

thanks guys

Mild weighs more than stainless (marginally), but you could try a very high temp alloy (does aluminium stand up to 600 degrees????) I'm sure there's an aluminium/steel alloy that holds massively high temps, I don't know what sort of availability and cost it has tho.

Jasma muffler is what you want, lightest on the market but you'll pay the cash for it. I think Kakimoto are also extremely light, both will have to be sourced direct from japan.

Cat's are all reasonably heavy, depends what size cat you want?

Why on earth do you only want a 2 inch exhaust? Your car will sound like a vacuum cleaner (like mine) Or is this for while it's NA or are you keeping it NA or what?

You could use the stock exhaust, but you'd want to replace all the press bends to at least give SOME flow. But once you bolt that massive turbo on, your stock exhaust is literally going to be a peashooter

JASMA isnt't actually a brand, its the JApanese Sport Muffler Association, if a muffler is 'JASMA' it just means its passed the strict tests they have over there.

What you want is a carbon fibre exhaust, theres heaps on ebay- ebay is your friend baz- i know what you want it for too
