Full titanium CBE's

Guys I'm looking for a bolt-on full titanium (goal is as light-weight as possible) CBE system. There's not that much out there. Is there anything out there I'm missing? These are what I found:

Amuse
Amuse - R1 Titan Extra STTI - Nengun Performance

LiteSpeed
370z Full Titanium Race Exhaust

Zero Exhaust
ZERO EXHAUST

Also anyone have any experience with the Zero Exhaust? Any reviews of the LiteSpeed?

IIRC, the Fast Intentions systems come in under 30 lbs and they are stainless. Just something to consider since there isn't much weight savings with these titanium systems as far as $ per lb saved is concerned.

^Agreed,

you pay a high price (doube $) for a few extra pounds of weight savings. I also really like those titanium exhaust, but for me they are just too $$.

I though the light speed was around 16 pounds.. That's light. I don't know about gains though. I think U A M sells it.

yup. I am personally very tempted by the amuse nismo Ti version but it's so much $$ for a few lbs lost and I hope it would produce the same whp as my F.I.

PS-I dropped around 35lbs off the weight of my car with the F.I. LTHs and CBE (non resonated x-pipe and CF mufflers).

great combo btw

The weight savings over OEM or stainless steel is quite a bit, especially with the single exhaust (~15-20lbs).

Litespeed Racing has a full titanium exhaust. I am running it on my car right now and its weighs 16 pounds and sounds amazing.

Found another one--looks to be all titanium, but at only ~$1500 seems hard to believe.

Assuming the OEM (non NISMO) CBE weight is 54 lbs the weight savings on the Amuse and Lightspeed systems are 24.2 and 39.8 lbs respectively. The costs (before shipping) are similar, so based on cost/weight savings (Amuse: $123/lb vs. Lightspeed $73/lb) Lightspeed is the way to go.

Regarding the lightest Fast Intentions CBE the weightsavings is 13 lbs at $1100, so the cost/weight savings ($77/lb) is actually a little higher than the Lightspeed.

FWIW.

Does anyone know if the weight of the LightSpeed includes the Y-pipe? It's hard to tell from their website but it looks like the Y-pipe is optional.

Yes the weight includes the y pipe
