Armytrix (Titanium or Stainless Steel)

[Ndwgolf]

Guys I am in the market for a new Armytrix exhaust for my new E53 coupe. For a Cat Back Stainless Steel system here in Thailand its going to cost me about £3200..........Titanium is about 2000 quid more..............So my question is this. Is the Titanium really worth the extra money when all I am looking for is something that is loud and obnoxious (only joking). Loud yes but a nice loud if you know what I mean, its going to be hidden under the car so I guess it doesn't matter what it looks like and I would imagine longevity would be about the same.........we don't have the rusting issues that you guys have back in the UK.
I could also go for a home made jobie for half the price but not sure if I want to go down that road after spending an arm and two legs for the car in the first place (could have bought a new GTR plus a car for the wife for the prices here in Thailand)

Thai's won't bother with the exhaust. They'll hold you up and shoot you if you don't hand the car over.

OP, if you think the outlay is worth it, go for it. You only live once. I'd buy the stainless.

Didn't realise the OP is from Thailand need to read a post correctly, he did mention twice where he was living LOL

Stainless it is then. Have any of you gone with a Armytrix catback (or any other name brand)...........Is there a "in your face" noticeable increase in the sound off the exhaust?
I must have watched about every YouTube out there on catback exhaust systems (Yes COVID lockdowns are everywhere) and to me they all sound about the same whether they are on a Benz or a Skoda

Mine a fair bit louder with just a resonator removal and straight piped. Adding catless turbo downpipes makes the car incredibly loud. I'm happy as it is now.

Are UK prices about the same as here £3200 for the full catback?

Not sure Neil. Could be even more expensive than the UK. Innotech F1 are the most common aftermarket brand for cat back exhausts in the UK I believe.
