GRP Titanium Exhaust Installation DIY Video

​

Here's my DIY video for installing the GRP Titanium exhaust and exhaust tips. It also contains lots of good information for anyone wanting to know how to remove the rear bumper on the Emira. I hope you find this helpful!

Wish that video was up when I swapped my tips. Didnt have any issues but this is a good useful visual guide of the steps.

As always, thank you for your video tutorials!

Great vid! how is the sound of the exhaust?

Also, if I may ask, keen to understand if the expanded tip of the cat delete pipe had any impact on the fitment to the ti exhaust. Assuming it fit well without any adjustment, possibly the GRP pipe was a little small in diameter from the start?

It sounds fantastic! If you have a valve controller and the third cat delete, I would say you don't get much more sound with the exhaust valve 100% open, if any. If you run the exhaust controller in OEM mode, you get a much better exhaust tone than the stock muffler, in my opinion. With the titanium exhaust, I noticed that the exhaust sound in the cabin was lower. The stock exhaust was much more boomy and had more drone. I find the titanium exhaust to be more crisp and less audible in the cab with the windows up. It seems like the exhaust sound projects rearward, whereas the stock exhaust radiates towards the front of the car much more.

The expanded de-cat pipe fitment wasn't an issue. The titanium exhaust has a more flexible inlet flange and clamp. It was a tight fit, but it made me feel more confident in the fitment.

Glad you’re liking the sound! II can imagine the higher and more crisp tone that Ti exhausts produces, and given the weight saving benefits definitely think it’s the way to go.

Currently I have the cat delete and milltek installed, didn’t have a pipe expander handy so for now have wrapped aluminum tape and tightened the band as much as possible but not an ideal install as of now… was debating whether to go forward and expand the cat delete pipe but was worried that it may cause fitment issues later if I decide to get an aftermarket exhaust.

Your info was very helpful, thank you!

Happy to help! Expanding the pipe is easy once you have the tool and know the process (see my install video for the de-cat pipe). There shouldn't be any issues with expanding it enough for a tight fit.

Well put together DIY, those tips sure are a lot of work.

They are, but I'm pleased with the result. I think they help project the exhaust sound rearward because they don't have all the perforations that the stock tips have.

Pro Tip: If anyone is considering changing their exhaust tips AND adding any rear carbon fiber bumper pieces, order them all together and remove the bumper only once. I wish I had thought of this before starting this installation so I could save myself from having to remove the bumper again.
