Timate Exhaust

Hi All

I recall a few of you were looking into the Timate system a while back. What happened ? Did anyone fit the system ? Impressions ?

Thanks

 

Sorry for taking such long time to post this. I just figured out how to edit the clips to load on youtube...
here is couple of clips, the loudness is insane! when I was standing 30 feet away from the dyno I thought my ear was going to explode or is the car is going to explode.
Enjoy.

Nice vids Ken.
How does it compare to the Capristo3 on over-run? I was moving slowly through traffic a few days back, and the over-run in first gear was amazing. At one point, I thought that someone had fired a gun!

 

the timate is louder and more raw sounding than the capristo 3, what makes mine so loud is the 180 cell cats. the best part of the timate is the weight. at 14 lbs you can pick the whole thing up with 1 finger

 

I assume it's titanium at 14 pounds?

 

yup

 

Ken... your car sounds absolutely insane, but in a really good way!

Nice job with the exhaust system. The videos are great.

Thanks,
Frank

 

They really need to start making this for the 430.

 

Nice howl. I'd love to hear those in person.

 

I have Capristio Twin sound on mine with stock cats, on part throttle it’s not nearly as loud, but on WOT it is just as sweet.

 

Great videos - thanks.. sounds great but I wonder if it would too loud for the mrs !? Maybe with standard cats..

 

Sweet music to my ears!

 

I just got a shipment in last week of a few sets of the Timate exhaust system. I didn't like the blue tips, so I requested Janet from Timate to just leave them silver. I plan to ebay them once I do some before/after videos, but let me know if any of you guys want a set. They're around $2k if you're curious.

The pictures are :
1) Silencer Muffler + Blue Tips
2) Custom Silver Tips

Kenneth, those videos were done really nicely. Is your car US or Euro spec? Looks to be US from the back bumper cover. Did you change out the pre-cats as well? I'm not sure how the US version is set up.

It was on a dyno in a couple of the videos. Could you see any gains from the cat+exhaust system?

One more question, haha. Do your exhaust tips look have the same colors as the picture posted below? I've read when they heat up, they turn a different color. Are any of the pictures you have taken above of the hot exhaust?

On a cold day, where you can see the exhaust, do you notice more flow coming out of the inner or outer tubes? I'm curious because of the way the piping is set up.

Thanks,
Erik

The Dyno on my car was at 335 with just the 180 cell cats and the timate. The ECU was tuned on the dyno to make it to 351. There are no before numbers to compare. The color of the tips are always blue and does not change in color, the exhaust it self turns light blue when heated. The only problem I had with it and have expressed to Janet and Jhi was where the plate with the Timate logo that connects the tips cracked about 2 hours after driving. I guess the heat and vibration of the exhaust was too much to hold by a thin piece of titainium. I just bent them upwards and the loud rattle noise is gone.
The most impressive of these exhaust is the weight, If the Stradale had one of these it could have saved more weight off the car.

Oh, here's the other thread about the Timate exhaust by the way.

Kenneth,

Any drone? If so, what rpm range?

Great sound BTW!

 

Not really, it is just loud.

 

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

 

Holy ****. I just got my timate exhaust put on today. This is the best money I've ever spent, if only for the sound upgrade!!!! I'll try to find a stock 360 modena and we can drive by one at a time, in a video. That way you guys can hear the difference.

I have a few sets left. Price is $2200 each plus shipping. Shipping should be around $35.

Seriously though, Best feeling I've had about my car in a while. I can't wait to drive it into work next week.

Ken, with your cats upgraded, do you get blue flames out the back of your car like the f430?

 

Congrats Erick, now you know what I am talking about.
I don't know if my had flames coming out since I never drive behind my car before but I will ask my friends to see it next time.
what causes the flame?

Ken, please take a second to look at the above video. It's kind of slow to load, but it's worth a look. The videos is of a 360 cs and it has blue flames shooting out the back at the highest revs. I'm wondering if your car can do this too now. Maybe on the down shifts?

That's what I heard, but it might just be rumor, you know? I'll check my car too next week. Maybe I don't even need higher flow cats for it.

 

Yes, I saw this clip before but this is of a Novitec tuned car and is running very lean. I saw a clip on you tube about a challenge car on a dyno and it did the same. I think you need to remove the cats to get that, I will try on my car since I am only running 180 cell cats.
you should definately think about getting high flow cats on with that exhaust, you think its good now wait till you put the cats on.
