S2000 Ballade Sports Titanium Exhaust | How it Compares to the Stainless Version 

I love how Quinn is saying he is spoiled by speed. While years ago he was saying he has to get rid of his z06 to not ruin how he thinks about his Miatas. I guess power isn’t everything but power to weight is

Fun video! Glad I know how hard you guys work, from the channel one might get the impression all you guys do is swap car parts and hoon!

It sounds so good! Way to make me go for an unplanned rip in the S2K midday Wednesday Quinn!

Enjoyed watching the video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Glad you get mics, more rx8 content🙏

I swear, the outside clips have a slightly different pitch/tone. maybe even a bit louder. sounds super sweet 👌🏾🤌🏾

Good or bad, right or wrong, size and shape does play some of the biggest role in how a engine sounds by far, but material type used even comparing regular steel to stainless makes a difference. In previous example you can find some good examples in classic car market where there are simply stainless replacement of stock systems. Gases are resonating all around so depending on material type usually what you notice is more or less rasp, extreme example is old fiberglass cherrybomb style drag mufflers vs what is for all intensive purposes same thing in bullet series stainless straight through mufflers, but even if it was only the pipes changes and the muffler/resonator etc all remained the same you can hear the difference between any different type of material. This one sounds pretty nice but if i had a complaint or at least something to look out for with Titanium is many of the lightest weight, super thin gauge stuff can but not always has a higher tendency to rasp, sometimes in worst cases very badly, luckily this does not appear to be one of them (although there is some, rasp, some is good imo)

About time there was some more S2000 content. Missed it man. Can you do gears next and let us know the outcome ha

Considered buying either the dual or single in ti but have read and heard ti exhaust will eventually develop cracks by nature of material. Not sure if myth but google search and people I have talked to have experienced it. On top of that ti welders are not often come by. Looks and sounds so good

Whats that carbon piece at the bottom of your rear bumper? I really like it and would like to possibly locate one. Big fan of your vids and all the tech talks. One of my new favorite channels since i just bought s AP1 a few weeks ago.

Beautiful exhaust, but your playin with the devil 😂

I still watch.these videos, even though I don't own an S2k any longer. 997.2 now, still miss the cost and performance cross point of the S,

I realize that this question is old and WAY off of topic, but do you remember the part number that you ordered for the Daikei hub adapter for your rx8? Thanks in advance

How did you get it so early. Ballade's website states they estimate shipping for October?

It sounds so exotic. What set of wheels are you running?

Stroker 2.4, ITB's, and Ballade Race header all that's left lol

light is right!

Hey dude, love the channel. I just saw DIYGuys did a review about the SS having muffler failures (primarily with tracked cars) and I was curious if you have seen any of these issues. I pre-ordered the TI exhaust and am curious if it will be built different (I accept the uncertainty and am not interested in a refund). Just reaching out to see your thoughts. Your experience and opinion is valuable to me. Thanks

Hmm, time to drop the S2000 off at LHT for a supercharger? Haha. Car sounds amazing, though. Might be slow, but there's just something about a high-strung 4cyl with a well-tuned exhaust.

sorry guys missed this one... its crazy how you sort of have to have silencers for guns.... yet can have exhausts as noisy as this.. couple of old guys in an s2000 always a good thing..... and yes more raw things..... great vid N x

Sounds a bit similar to my J's 70RS titanium. I've not dynod mine but the car feels a lot faster than stock exhaust. Probably down to the system only weighing 9lbs!!

Are they already being shipping out? Thought they were still doing pre-order?

Quinn, now you need to invest in the intake! Definitely needs the ITBs now! Not mentioning that it might help with the weight reduction too! Specially in the wallet!

How was the Ballade packaging for the titanium exhaust? Well protected for shipping overseas do you think?

sounds like you need a little extra fuel on startup

No the first titanium exhaust on a car for Quinn. I believe the Z06 had one.

Titanium headers when? 😉

Were you still looking for someone with scales? I'm local and have some corner balance pads if you're interested...

How’s the clearance for rear bar?

Who makes that resonator test pipe or HFC?

He said ass2000 cuz I’ve heard it a million times 😂 can’t tell, giving loral vibes

SAME PITCH BUT DIFFERENCE IN RESONANCE

what are those wheels?

I weighed my 70rs with kitchen scales😂

Don't think ITB's are worth it, but I do think a stroker is.

100 bucks mattchew gets an s2000 and puts on the steel exhaust.

You selling the other exhaust?
