    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Whoops, I thought you were referring to the loud pop that's heard through the speakers when you open the car door sometimes. Anyways, here's the information on that for anyone wondering. This was asked at LOG43 during a tech talk with the head of US service. He basically said they would have to...

    GRP Titanium Exhaust Coming In HOT!

    I don't know the degrees to which the valve opens, but I do have sound comparison videos between stock and Titanium and the decibel recordings I took, look to back up the fact that the GRP exhaust functions the same.

    GRP Titanium Exhaust Coming In HOT!

    The GRP exhaust does have a spring, and I haven't had any issues. I've used the valve controller a ton to record numerous sound videos, raced an Autocross event, and did a track day at the Circuit of the Americas with no issues. You can see how the valve motor mounts up to the GRP Ti exhaust at...

    Rear diffuser bolts

    There are two different lengths of bolts that go into the rear diffuser. Those two bolts you show should be the longer 25mm bolts (I believe there are six in total). Whereas, all the others around the outside are 20mm. When I first took my diffuser off, I didn't realize there were two...

    Emira Exhaust Upgrade?

    IMO, the best bang for the buck is the decat pipe and the valve controller. I love the ability to manually control the exhaust valve, which gives you great exhaust noises with minimal effort. If you want a more tuned-sounding exhaust note, less exhaust resonance in the cabin, 20 lbs of weight...

    It could be because the 718 GT4 weighs about 90 lbs less than the Emira. My Emira weighed in at 3,267 lbs stock with a full tank of gas and full PPF. I'm seeing similar GT4s weigh about 3,180 lbs.

    The titanium doesn’t add any additional sound when the valve is 100% open. It just changes the tone a bit. If the valve controller is set to OEM operation, then you should notice more sound at normal to low engine RPMS. I plan to have a new exhaust sound video in the next week or so comparing...

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    I have the Cup2 tires, and I noticed the same increase in tire pressure when I was out at COTA last week. My rear tire pressures cold were 32 psi, and after a session, they jumped up to almost 39 psi. I didn't notice much movement under hard braking. My car is fitted with the Sports suspension.

    Emira Exhaust Upgrade?

    It is louder and better sounding over the stock muffler. It projects rearward more than forward towards the cab, as the stock exhaust does. Several times, with the valve 100% open, I had to roll my window down to check the sound because I thought I had the valve closed. Once I rolled the window...

    Emira Exhaust Upgrade?

    It seems much quieter in the cabin on the highway after the titanium exhaust. The stock exhaust is much more "boomy" and resonates in the cabin more than the titanium exhaust does.

    GRP Titanium Exhaust Installation DIY Video

    They are, but I'm pleased with the result. I think they help project the exhaust sound rearward because they don't have all the perforations that the stock tips have. Pro Tip: If anyone is considering changing their exhaust tips AND adding any rear carbon fiber bumper pieces, order them all...

    GRP Titanium Exhaust Installation DIY Video

    Happy to help! Expanding the pipe is easy once you have the tool and know the process (see my install video for the de-cat pipe). There shouldn't be any issues with expanding it enough for a tight fit.

    GRP Titanium Exhaust Installation DIY Video

    It sounds fantastic! If you have a valve controller and the third cat delete, I would say you don't get much more sound with the exhaust valve 100% open, if any. If you run the exhaust controller in OEM mode, you get a much better exhaust tone than the stock muffler, in my opinion. With the...
