I posted that, but now I'm not so sure, see the thread for more details

on the Tanabe U-M, some of the muffler parts and tips are Ti, the rest is thin-wall stainless, I wrote them asking the actual weight and haven't heard back, it's an interesting design

I'm surprised none of you haven't mentioned anything about the Agency Power Ti. exhaust...

And from what I understand, it is fully Titanium... Which means if a tip begins melting some plastic, then your best bet is finding metal objects too fill up those rubbers hangars in a silly attempt to stop the melting

i emailed tanabe about their ultra medallion a while back, i got a pretty shitty answer though

The Ultra Medalion is actually a special order application for the RX-8, but can still be obtained by placing an order. It utilizes lightweight materials like titanium, so it is definitely lighter than stock, even though it is still a dual tipped exhaust. Complete information can be obtained here: http://www.tanabe-usa.com/exhausts/ultramedalion.asp. Because we don’t physically have the exhaust here at our headquarters, we do not have definite weight or box dimensions available at this time. But, box weights for the Ultra range from 15lbs to 40lbs. So the actual system should weigh in at 10 to about 35 max.

I actually talked to a rep from Tanabe USA and fromwhat he told me, the rear section (with the exclusion of the hangers) is titanium and the connecting pipe (rear section to cat-pipe) is stainless steel. iirc, it's somewhere around 24l-27 lbs (shipping weight). I was gonna order this throught them but they don't even stock it there, it has to be special ordered from japan. my old troop managed to get one for me before he got deployed (he's stationed in Yokota AB, Japan) and will bring it to Travis when he flies home for leave. but that'll wait 'cause he's still in Iraq right now. I'll weigh 'em and post some pics as soon as I get it (hopefully within a month or so)

it will probably be under 20 lb actual if that's true, the shipping weight is always high

I was mainly interested in the JIC Ti exhaust but now that Tanabe Ultra has caught my eye- cheaper and probably lighter. It's also advertised to be under 95db.

I weighed just the main muffler and tips on our JIC and it was 13 lbs, I don't think the inlet pipe weighs anywhere near 5 lbs, the JIC full Ti with the OE catpipe is super quiet, just barely louder than the OE muffler
