Thinking about this set up for the GT3 Exhaust
Oakley Design Titanium 'Supercup' System
Following many hours of CAD design, material test, dyno and sound test and optimization was followed by rigorous track work resulted in Oakley Design producing a ‘masterpiece’.
The strict programme requirement was that the selected material must be able to be mandrel bent (headers) and maintain perfect wall thickness to balance weight reduction with durability.
Oakley Design engineers consulted with metallic experts to carefully select the optimum grade of Titanium that would provide the required properties required for a Porsche high performance exhaust system.
By using titanium to produce the complete system this benefits the vehicle performance and handling by providing a significant weight saving (athe the furthest most rear point of the car) over both original equipment and alternative aftermarket performance exhausts
Here you can see back to back figures of both the original system and Oakley Design titanium system:
Original System Weight:
Left header 5.10kgs
Right header 5.10kgs
Left muffler 9.75kgs
Right muffler 9.75kgs
Rear centre muffler with tips 10.55kgs
= Total 40.25kgs
Oakley Design Titanium System Weight:
Left header 2.3kgs
Right header 2.3kgs
Joining pipe left 0.8kg
Joining pipe right 0.8kg
Rear centre muffler with tips 8.7kgs
= Total 14.9kgs
A weight saving of 25.35kgs
Final dyno and rolling road runs of the Oakley Design Titanium ‘Supercup’ exhaust showed a power increase of 12bhp. When coupled to the additional weight benefit the power to weight gain is greater than the physical bhp increase.
Final figures with an Oakley Design map showed 443bhp (repeated) from a 412bhp ‘stock’ engine.

Anyone have any advice pro or con on this as my friend in Austria swears by his?

Jack,
I have heard nothing but good things about this company, in fact I have spoken with Michael from Oakley in the past and I he mentioned they may join teamspeed so maybe hold out to see if we can get a group discount perhaps, i will keep you posted for sure

That header system is from QuickSilver not from Oakely Design. I have never seen any performance results published.
I do not know exact costs but be ready to break the bank.
Would like to see videos and results. Would be good info for those considering the purchase.
