Bolted it on over the weekend and the first cold start made me grin like an idiot—that deep, aggressive bark is exactly what this car needed. The weight difference is noticeable when you're under the car, and it's been flawless so far in daily driving.

Bolting this on took an afternoon, and the first cold start literally made my neighbor look out the window. The Grade 5 titanium keeps it featherlight, but the sound is pure F1 crackle—exactly what a mid-engine R8 should have had from the factory.

The weight difference is ridiculous — I can feel it when I lift the old system against this Grade 5 titanium, and the sound now matches the car's looks perfectly. It's still civilized at idle but absolutely screams past 6k rpm.
