Emira Titanium exhaust interest...

[Eagle7]

Unless I'm missing it, it looks like this whole system is using only a single cat? I wonder if that would pass non-California emissions. Gonna be interesting to see what this whole setup costs and how much it weighs.

 

[Aerie]

Looks like the V6 system at least is a prototype - the flanges don't line up in the last picture...
I love the color and texture of titanium

That is not a flanges not line up , is only the gasket…

If you don't mind me asking, why all the pie cuts (necessitating dozens of extra welds) on the backbox/muffler piping? Looking at the headers you've built, which do look very nice, you do seem to have proper pre-bent sections. Were the pie cuts just for the prototype muffler, or do you intend the final product to be built that way also?

Regarding the pie cut and welds on the titanium exhaust, it is a standard composite. You can search for "titanium weld" to see examples of welding work on similar materials. I have attached a chart showing a perfectly welded titanium joint as a reference. Our final product will have the same level of quality.

Our new titanium exhaust system for the Emira V6 and 2.0 models incorporates numerous detailed features in both the product and production process. These features have been inspired by our past experience in selling motorsport headers and titanium exhaust systems for Lotus Elise, Exige, and Evora models. We have successfully sold over 300 sets of these systems in the past three years.

The new Emira V6 and 2.0 titanium exhaust system , y-pips , header will be launch on our website very soon this weekend and also we have full specs carbon fiber and performance upgrades parts with Emira
will be arrive very soon.

Absolutely won't -- "offroad use only".

 

[Aerie]

I'll have this system installed within the next two weeks, and then I'll post some sound clips

Your titanium exhaust are stock available ready to dispatch today , you will receive by early next week, thank you for your support

That wasn't the purpose of my question, I know what a good weld looks like. What I was asking is whether it's necessary to have so many welded joints, it introduces numerous opportunities for rough or imperfect surface finish on the inside of the pipe where the flow actually matters. And I'm not saying that your product would necessarily have that, I'm just saying it introduces risk for QC issues that may occur normally in a production process at scale.

I know it looks cool to have all those pie cuts, but from a flow perspective it seems like it would be a more reliable end product if it was constructed from bent sections rather than many pieces of chopped straight pipe. Just a personal opinion.

Otherwise, very interested to see how people get on with this exhaust system and will definitely have it on my list as an option once my Emira finally arrives. Best of luck to you with this, I hope it's successful.

What is the weight of your titanium system versus the weight of the stock factory system? Also, I looked at your website and the wheels for the Emira look interesting, but you don't list the weights. If you're advertising your products to have lighter weight, it's a good idea to list the actual weights.

Hi @Jf289 , does the V6 setup include a EURO 6 titanium cat in addition to the Y-pipe cat?

 

[Eagle7]

Absolutely won't -- "offroad use only".

Yeah that's what I kinda figured, but if it's offroad (i.e. track) use only, why have a cat in the first place? It's a nice looking system though.

I mean it's very obviously the same reason all the other aftermarket exhausts with catalytic converters exist, to skirt the law just enough so that you can run your illegally modified exhaust on the road. It's also why the entire industry is currently being cracked down upon by the EPA -- abuse gets a response -- and the fines are huge.

I guess it depends. My 2010 Camaro SS which I set up for track days, has high-flow cats and a custom stainless exhaust system including tri-y headers, and it passes at the smog station when I have to get it smogged every couple of years. But then I'm not in California so maybe it wouldn't there.

For our titanium exhaust system come with a de-cat downpipe This outstanding system weighs less than 6.5kg approx a significant reduction compared to the factory specification of 14.5kg. By opting for our titanium exhaust system, you can save an impressive 8kg from the factory setup.

In addition, we would like to share some exciting news with you. We have extensively tested our premium heat insulation header and y-pipes, which feature the same design as our titanium exhaust, on the 2GR-FE V6 engine with a water-cooling supercharger in the Exige 410sports stock cars. These tests yielded remarkable results, with a power upgrade of 21.7HP recorded during dyno test runs and we will measure our own Emira V6 soon
