3 track days and a cool annealing (tempering? it's been awhile...) pattern emerges. you can see the EGT drop after passing through the muffler.
Still liking the exhaust? Any valve rattle?

no rattle at all, though this may be different if titan sends you a valve motor clip. I re-used the factory clip because mine didn't come with one.

Shopping around for something with a valve and am torn between a few. This setup included. Still happy with it?
Their customer service seems to be pretty lacking or I may have ordered one already.

I bought mine used from another user on here so I can't say for sure how their customer service is.

Honestly, we all know that it's an alibaba exhaust, so if I had to buy another, I would just go direct to the supplier. They might be able to do something extra like put on an extra resonator or a larger muffler. The muffler does cut the drone a lot (watch that video I posted with some good headphones on to hear the difference), but the overall volume is still pretty loud when closed.

For me, the titan was the only exhaust that fit all my criteria:
-single midpipe for sound
-3.5" piping or larger
-large(r) muffler to reduce drone
-actuates with OEM sport button, no fiddling with extra remotes or motors

The only way they could make it better would be to make it out of stainless rather than titanium.

Can get them direct from the supplier here but there's a minimum order requirement of 5 units:

https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...yofferlist.p_offer.d_title.665c13a0QqR27q&s=p

If you want an alternative 3.5", single midpipe, OEM valve solution that's a straight pipe on one side and routes through a muffler on the other, Maperformance Catback is exactly that: https://www.maperformance.com/produ...ack-exhaust-2020-toyota-supra-a90-sup-mk5-cbe

Active Autowerke also has a single midpipe but it goes into a muffler, still uses the OEM valve but just on the passenger tip like the OEM exhaust, it's also 3.5": https://store.activeautowerke.com/p...=2&_sid=0bbca1af1&_ss=r&variant=4522912383007

Those are the only options I can think of off the top of my head that fit all those requirements. Not knocking the Titan exhaust in any way, the above are just stainless alternatives. For all I know they're sourced from Alibaba/Aliexpress as well and I just haven't found them on there yet XD

Ah darn, wish I had known about the MAP exhaust. Oh well, too much of a hassle to take it off and sell it now...

Honestly torn between the AA and MAP exhaust! Those are the two on my radar as well.

I think the MAP requires a bit more effort to get the valve installed because of how you have to re-route the wiring but of the two I think I'd probably go with that one.

I like how the front part towards the Downpipe is more of an oval shape so the exhaust can tuck up a bit more and give you more ground clearance in that area

I have the titan exhaust and it probably took me about an hour to install it, i wasn't aware of the harness wire for the valves not able to reach directly so had to route behind the inner fender heat shield and fish it down from the top. Anyway, it's a very nice exhaust, extremely light, sounds great, and yeah, on the highway w/ the valves open, you get drone. Close them and it's all good. For the price and the quality, i'm super happy w/ it. I also do not recall needing to mess around w/ the valves, i just took the factory ones off and thought i just slapped them on the Titan exhaust.

I actually had to re route for the Injen exhaust I had! Was a pain and absolutely cut my arm on that silver heat shield. All tucked away now.

The best exhaust for this car; AWE touring. Local PD doesn’t take kindly to how loud it can be. Just wish it had a valve.
Would consider Dinan. In normal, sounds a little louder than stock. In sport it’s a straight pipe 3.25”.

The video is on stock dp, first two revs in normal. Last 2 revs in sport.

Recently, got AA catted dp, normal is a little louder than before. Sport mode is much louder.

appreciate it. I think for a bit more I would consider MAP. I do wish there was more info on the Active Auto setup and their catback, but their customer service kinda of sucks.

Yeah I was interested in those two. I emailed AA to ask if they had a muffler cut out or diagram but never got a response.

I haven’t seen anyone with the MAP so it would be unique.
