I couldn't remember which thread ghezzi posted about AM Performance and custom Ti work. Well, they can make me a custom pretzel. cheers

It'll be in the 'lobster tail' form and will only cost me $1300. Shocked

I'll have to start selling maps...

That full Arrow kit is the dogs dangles. Too bad it doesn't fit the 1100.

Beetle, shut up and qwitchyabitchin! That's loose change compared to the engineering costs of my plastic wheels.

Do it. Prove it. And have the only one on the planet ......................... the rest are left to dream.

Oh, I'm going to do it. I just can't do it right now. Curse!

I take this is some form of segmented assembly like the bends on the Mistral? Given its frangibility I'd imagine mandrel bending Ti would be a nightmare, if not impossible. Welding the shit is bad enough! You have to do it in an oxygen free environment, usually a nitrogen chamber I believe, can't even open TIG it.

Yep. Also explains the cost. Labour intensive with special equipment always equals big $$.

Beetle , do either The Arrow or OEM have anti reversion tubes.

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10046 Join date : 2013-09-30

They do not.

Why do you ask?

I can confirm this, I have this on my 1100 but with another muffler.

Grignapoco Posts : 159 Join date : 2014-04-17

Hmmm... Well this got interesting in a hurry!

Any clue if that lack of pretzel messes up the 1100?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10046 Join date : 2013-09-30

Probably not as much as the 8V. You may need to remap it though. Where's the shrug emoticon?

Do the arrow headers really make a difference?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10046 Join date : 2013-09-30

The headers by themselves? No. Unless you count the weight saving. The sure look purty though.

The midpipe makes a massive difference.

Massive in a good way?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10046 Join date : 2013-09-30

No.

Actually, it depends on your point of view. The G is still has more went and smoothness than a stock unit. But, for me, GRiSO went from the Mistral Hi-Pipe dBk torque monster to "where the fuck has my low end torque gone?". So, I enter full anal nerd mode and completely rebuild the map. Torque better but still not the old pretzel+Mistral torque monster I knew and loved. Super smooth now though. Revs extremely well and has quite a bit more top end power.

In fact, I like it so much I don't think I'll bother with the Ti pretzel. Spend money on suspension instead.

So you think a "winning" combination would be the Ti headers, stock mid-pipe and arrow can?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10046 Join date : 2013-09-30

I don't have the Arrow can. I still use the Mistral Hi-Pipe, which IMO is simply the best silencer for the GRiSO.

But yeah, the pretzel midpipe is a good thing.

Do you have any idea if there is a weight difference between the pretzel and the arrow replacement? It doesn't seem to be a big part, so I wouldn't imagine it to weigh a lot.
