    Was it just the tip? this seems to happen a lot with the burnt titanium tips.

    Can u post a pic please. I have the SE and am intersted to see if this is normal with Greddy's. I haven't seen them do that.

    It is normal :) The problem is not with Greddy, but with titanium as a metal. The titanium starts to oxidate. Racing accelerates that process. The copper turns green, the silver turns black, all of these is product of oxidation.

    Oh man that is brutal. I better make sure to take off the SE if I ever feel like taking the car to the track.

    This has not happened to anyone. Im pretty sure I was the 1st or 2ed person to get this exhaust and have went to the track several times, and have done other stuff, and this has not happened to me.
