Doubt you'll find a titanium resonator anywhere to weld in. Your better off having a small stainless resonator section made that fits in the centre section then getting 2 titanium flanges welded onto your titanium system with the same amount removed. Make your centre pipe into a 3 piece pipe with a flanged bolt in resonator section if you know what I mean? Then you can even put 2 more titanium flanges on the titanium section you removed to swap it back in if needed.

Looking at it I think you can buy the exhaust with a resonated centre section.


See the link below.

I think the sensible thing to do is remove it off the car and buy another system.

The car is now back with Ryan the exhaust will be taken off and put up for sale. There is also a slight issue with an oily smell on tickover which Ryan is going to investigate and hopefully fix.The car also needs a pair of discs on the front so a phonecall to Alyn at ASP will be made.

I collected my car this morning,this is the first time i had heard the Hayward & Scott system that Ryan had fitted to replace the Tomei system.It's got a very nice sound to it.
Also the brakes are spot on now with the new discs and pads.

469.9 bhp and 430 torque.
I will get the graph put up when my daughter visits,its a bit beyond me.
Thwaites are top people cant praise them enough.
After a couple of issues all was sorted then Mark was able to go ahead with the mapping.

very happy,had a smile on my face all the way home.
A big thankyou to everyone involved in this.
ASPerformance who built the engine
Mark at Thwaites who did an excellent job on the mapping.
Last but not least Ryan at Torques Performance who put it all together and had to put up with all my moaning and endless texts.His attention to detail is second to none.
If you are planning to do something similar you wouldnt go far wrong using these people.
So whats next ?
Full refurb underneath and a full geometry setup but first my wallet is having a summer break.
