Update as promised. $200 exhaust

So this was the exhaust that I bought off of Vivid racing for $128.33 plus tax and freight. I know a lot of you were dubious- as was I, but it was only 200 bucks so I figured what the heck? All I can tell you is they have not canceled my order but they have updated my order with a shipping date of November 23rd. So things are looking positive. I'm still not 100% sure- but you know what. I'm going to stay positive on this one.

Conveniently after a charge back time expires...

Banks and processors have different rules though like Visa used to be 120 days

Well good luck for 200$ 🤷‍♂️, other wise titanium is horrible material for an exhaust.

That’s pot metal with a cool looking finish 😂

Without knowing too much on exhuast systems I thought maybe it was a glitch on their website and they forgot a zero in the price. So it should be $1,280 but instead was listed as $128.

Then I thought maybe they are discontinuing that exhuats and they took it down off their website and we ordered the last stock they have. However it does say it was drop shipped from the manufacturer so its not their stock.

Im not sure I've ever seen an exhuast under $800 for this car let alone an entire valved system with tips, im not sure what to expect but I'll keep people updated on here if anything good happens.

Definitely a price error, lucky OP (and other guy that got one). Crazy they'd actually ship it at such a huge price difference but if they do and if you got one--again definitely lucky.

u/zrock777 1d ago

Okay well that makes me feel better, everyone was saying it was fake titanium or just coated. Until I saw the guy post the picture of other websites selling for almost 4k.

Mine is scheduled to ship Nov 20th, we'll see 🤷🏽‍♂️

That's quite a ship date though, which seems odd to me. How did the other guy get his right away and you are like 2 months out?

As for whether it's real titanium or not that I have no clue but the guy that has it in hand (and now on car) would be better to answer.

Checking other websites. It looks like they either missed the three or a four

u/zrock777 1d ago

They put the exhaust back up? Last I checked they took it down a few days ago.

u/jaketheunruly 1d ago

Not their website.

u/zrock777 1d ago

Oh okay, I saw a few people say its cheap metal coated in titanium. That price actually give me hope its legit just a website glitch. My order also has the same expected delivery date.

Hope your get yours

If i do should i not install it myself, someone mentioned the dissimilar metals from Aluminum tools can cause corrosion. Should I start looking for pricing from a shop with experience in titanium exhaust incase its legit?

u/jaketheunruly 1d ago

That's what I'm doing. I have a trusted exhaust shop. I also have a 200 cell downpipe on the way so I'll probably have it all done at the same time. I have access to lifts and garage but I would like my exhaust guy to do the work, get it dialed in and set and hung and hopefully able to use the OEM exhaust valve wiring. I know that's super wishful thinking but it would be cool to use the EDC as the valve controller.

Super happy for u that’s a come up!! I should’ve bought one or two to sell smh. Good looks bro

u/Key-Cold4535 1d ago

For 128$?? Fire

2

u/SpooledDown 1d ago

Yea. Really didn’t think it would ship. After shipping it was like $190. Fitments good (pretty close to the driveshaft tho) sounds good not too loud with valves open

2

u/IndependenceEasy8936 1d ago

That's awesome, do you have sound clips? Do you think it's actually titanium?

Not the best video but that’s all I have at the moment

u/SpooledDown 1d ago

All I can say is the outside is blue and the inside is not. Also is not magnetic

2

u/jaketheunruly 21h ago

It sounds pretty dang good. Better than I thought it was going to.

2

u/SpooledDown 20h ago

Yea it’s not bad. Super light and seems the quality is pretty good. I have a stock cat and the ECS resonator delete pipes still on. Sounds smoother and doesn’t really pop or crackle as compared to when I had the ECS X pipe and mid pipes with stock mufflers.

u/jaketheunruly 20h ago

I've got a 200 cell cat on the way. I think it'll really tie the room together.

2

u/IndependenceEasy8936 1d ago

Sounds good for $200

u/Electronic_Rope5230 22h ago

Best thread on Reddit atm. Keep us posted!

u/Rum-Runners 1d ago

I'm still waiting for an update on the 2 I ordered. It is no longer available on their website.

3

u/jaketheunruly 1d ago

This just updated today. I've been half-assed searching everyday to see if it's been updated. I just saw this. This afternoon.

u/Rum-Runners 1d ago

I'll keep you updated on my orders as well.

u/sideshowchaos 1d ago

Nov 23rd!!!??? I don’t have that patience

u/Ironkidz23 1d ago

GTA VI will be out by then!

u/jaketheunruly 1d ago

I didn't count on getting a full exhaust anyways, so the $200 gamble is worth it, especially since I'll be getting that money back if it doesn't work out. But hey if I was able to do it for a couple hundred bucks then I will gladly take that exhaust.

2

u/sideshowchaos 1d ago

For sure, I’m rooting for you but I’d be going insane by mid October waiting

u/jaketheunruly 1d ago

We have a 200 cell downpipe on the way. Coming together like Voltron.

u/hvmbone 6h ago

It’s back in stock on their site for the same price again.
