Does anyone have any experience with the Rev9 Titanium Valved exhausts? It appears the V10 version (CB-201-TI) was just released. The V8 Version (CB-202-TI) has been out for about a year.
The reasons I'm interested in this exhaust are:
I'm also looking at the Topgear Valvetronic Performance Exhaust. I've read great things about it, and it looks like a quality exhaust. However, I don't think it's going to be as loud as the Rev9 when the valves are open. This is because all exhaust flow is routed through the 2 mufflers, regardless of valve position. I'm sure the internal routing inside the mufflers is much more direct then when the valves are open, but my guess is that probably doesn't produce the more extreme sound levels that the Rev9 does with its valves open.
Questions:
Thanks!
The reasons I'm interested in this exhaust are:
- Loud when open: it's basically a 3" straight-piped exhaust (with a crossover X-pipe) when the valves are open, so it should produce maximum sound levels
- Quiet when closed: all exhaust is routed through the large muffler, so it should be quiet with no drone when closed
- Price: I want a valved exhaust and I don't want to spend more than $2500
- Titanium: I guess titanium is a little better? The higher stiffness should be a little better for the higher frequencies and it should be somewhat lighter weight. (But I'm not sure it really matters that much.)

- Does anyone have any experience comparing the two exhausts?
- Is there another valved exhaust in this <$2500 price range to consider?
Thanks!
