It takes 350 hours to TIG weld these titanium Grade 2 exhausts, only 30 will be made, all numbered.

That was my thought also, seems an excessive amount of time, that's over 11 weeks of full time work.

I'd like one, I've sent a request.

 

Why do I think you're trying to get two and will turn one into a lamp for that cool house...

How many aventadors roll off the assembly line every 350 hours? How could it possibly take 350 hours to make an exhaust????

That is either A, complete horse shit. Or B, someone needs to step away from the chop saw and just have those tubes CNC mandrel bent. We could get those down to two days worth of welding and it wouldn't change anything about the sound or performance.

 

350 hours to weld an exhaust system :lol2: That's embarrassing if it's true.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that 350 hours is a figure regarding the time it took to produce all 30 units.

 

Now that's entirely possible.

Sorry my initial joke must've come out wrong, I probably used the wrong Dr Evil meme :icon_mrgreen:

I've implied that 350 hours time quoted to make an exhaust is way off.

 

I wanted that piece the minute I saw that blue titanium, damn now I understand how girls feel when they see shiny stones LOL.

:iamwithstupid: I figured you would like this!

let me know the pricing when you find out..

 

I emailed them last night, I will let you know but with 30 available and everyone in the sates being friends with Mr. Balboni I think my chances are slim to none.

what a beautiful looking piece! But producing exhausts only for SVs would be a very limited market, unless the company also starts making exhausts for the mass produced models.

my guess is if this goes well they will start with the limited models, SL, SV etc..

if the price isn't ridiculous I'm sure they will sell out!

I wonder if the factory is in on this deal!

yep, its just strange that they already make a race exhaust SV system with tuning etc..

doesn't seem like a good strategy to me..

The VB is probably a whole other price point by the looks of it so possibly not a competitor

it will be interesting to see how this brand works out.

 

italians, german, japanese, taiwanese and americans have all been branding with success. the exclusivity will need some awesome sound and performance to back it up. then, people will want more -- flame throwing etc.

 

titanium is nice but pricey for 5lbs less than SS.
