Good shape
[How is it used?
daily use (Touring)
Was the one you received as per Image?
As Image because I had checked the actual product.
Was the installation difficult?
There is a difficulty in removing the OEM exhaust pipe, but the installation is not a problem if it follows the order surely.
How was your experience with it?
I'm worried about the after. I don't feel the lack of low-speed torque as much as people say, but I think ECUSetting is necessary. If you want to use it with the K-FACTORY Bullet Silencer, you should use the large size Baffle. It is light weight.
[Included Parts:were they on?
It is included and no problem.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None

Disappointed with the roughness of the finish.
[How is it used?
I switched my car to a Z900RS and the NORMAL sound was not bad, but
Purchased because the sound quality was a little different from my taste and I wanted to change the appearance and reduce the weight.
The following impressions are in comparison with the SC-PROJECT full titanium exhaust that was installed on the previous Z900 (unmarked).
So it is very dry.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The finish was worse than expected.
All of the pipes have scratches from the manufacturing process, and all of the exhaust pipes have weld marks.
It looks as if it is not a Pipe, but a plate material that has been rounded and welded.
The surface of the bending part is decorated with wrinkles.
Roughened surface like sharkskin can be seen throughout the entire surface (especially on Tail Pipe). (Tail Pipe is especially bad.)
Material:I also felt it was surprisingly heavy for Titanium.
The SC-PROJECT product was surprisingly light, with excellent finish and precision.
I assume the lightness is due to the use of thinner-walled Pipe than this product.
Naturally, the thinner the material, the higher the technology required for bending and welding.
Was the installation difficult?
The joint with the Tail Pipe also went in without any problem when combined with the same K-fac Bullet Silencer.
Aluminum's split flange seems easy to install, but in reality, it is not easy to install on the Stud.
It is difficult to do because of the "Rose" effect.
The installation of the assembly was easy, with no particular misalignment.
Clearance with the lower part of the Engine is quite low, making it difficult to set an extreme Pushing Up Style.
The Bracket that fixes the Wiring of the OEM's Lambda sensor was removed because it hit the assembly area.
The Lambda sensor mounting part is for the Z900RS, but for some reason, the position is on the opposite (back) side of the OEM.
It looks hard to do when removing it because it is about 10 cm away.
Since there are only two fixation points, one at the exhaust flange and the other at the silencer, it can be used for a long period of time.
Durability is a little uncertain.
How was your experience with it?
The thick exhaust pipe that looks like a hand bent, and the silencer angle of the pusher is also good for Parenthesis.
Material also gets a burnt color if it runs.:The good thing about TitaniumExhaust pipe.
The sound may depend on the Silencer combined, but since the catalyst and SaPig equalizer are eliminated, the sound is basically bombastic.
The sound quality is muddy from the Idling, with a rough, dusky sound rather than a clear, pleasant sound.
Exhaust pipes are just bundled together and not etc. length, which may cause turbidity due to exhaust interference, etc.
Frankly, I do not prefer it compared to the pleasant sound of SC-PROJECT.
Combined with Bullet Silencer but with Inner baffle
It seems that the exhaust resistance is quite low and I don't feel that the low speed Torque is extremely low, nor is the AfterFire at all.
It feels like the performance is down because it feels like it is stuck on top of the bomb.
I would like to eventually try it withwithout Baffle and other Silencer to see how the volume, sound quality, and performance changes.
If you think that you can get a Titanium Full Exhaust System at a relatively low price if you choose a cheap Silencer, you can get a Titanium Full Exhaust System at a relatively low price.
I would recommend it if you think it's cosmetic but don't care about the rest as long as it looks good.

Instruction Manual、Material:Includes AluminumFlange and Spring. (Also available for SilencerSpring)
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
As already mentioned, the roughness of the finish, weight, and sound quality are all disappointing.
Perhaps it was made by an apprentice? The finish makes you think
I must say that it is a bit disappointing to ship this Level in a product that costs more than 100,000.
According to the Instruction Manual, it is not returnable once the Vinyl containing the respective Parts is broken.
It is better to Check well before opening the package.
What does it mean that the initial four-month wait was suddenly delivered the following month?
Would it be too much to suspect that a B-grade shipment was made...

Items to buy together:.
This product is a PipeSingle Body, so a silencer, silencer fixing bracket, etc. are required separately.
