Can't quite tell what that is... Single exhaust with no muffler, one resonator, one cat or is that a resonator also?

Thanks for sharing that team. I see you are using some Burns stuff. Very nice. Very nice indeed. its probably very light also.
Guys look at the tech in it --not the parts. This can be done without the special cat for much less than 2K.

True but that particular cat is the key to lowest restriction, long lasting, and emissions legal

true --the cat is a very nice piece and would be required for those of us that have to deal with emissions stuff.

you can get the core at a fraction of the cost, but the fun part is creating the conical inlet and outlet

2k for the Team custom exhaust is a steal. I just saw the price for the Pettit racing stuff. $2500 and the convenience of being able to switch out just the cat for a straight piece whenever you please (and it isn't currently 2000 degrees).

the cat flows like a straight piece so there is no need. I'm sure they didn't use 20 Ga. T321 tubing & elbows either ...

I think that is an exhaust "box"? Which means what happens on the other side of it--doesnt matter. But, I could be wrong. 321 is very nice but expensive stuff. But, that's the best for a rotary's hot exhaust. Icional excluded
