In response to the demand for locally made exhausts for the Nissan GT-R, Canadian based Type1 Racing have today announced their T1R 90R exhaust system.

The T1R 90R will be available in 304 stainless and full titanium versions. Both versions feature titanium tips for that tough burnt titanium look at the back. The exhaust features a 90mm diameter main pipe with 76mm piping after the mufflers.

The stainless T1R 90R will cost around $1500 USD when it’s out in spring of ‘09.

Type 1 Racing also announced their upcoming T1R SS front pipes. This Y-pipe is made from 304 stainless and features two 65mm diameter from the turbine outlet pipes into one single 90mm pipe.

The T1R SS will be compatible with the standard exhaust but after market cat back exhaust is recommended. It should be available for Christmas time at around the $500 USD mark.

Edmunds has been busy at the LA AutoShow today chasing Nissan executives around until someone gave them a straight answer. So Nissan is almost certainly leaving the fabled Nissan GT-R’s launch-control out of the series II (MY10) Nissan GT-R in the US market.

This correlates with the rumours we’ve already been hearing about it not being offered at all on the Australian market Nissan GT-R come 2009.

As for other markets? Well we’ve seen the complete official list of changes for the series II Nissan GT-R in the Japanese market now and cannot find any reference to this change in that document but we wouldn’t at all be surprised to find it’s a global change when the production line starts back up in the near future.

Big deal or not? When the standard car without launch control is still able to manage a sub 4 second 0-60mph and 11 second 1/4 ET’s in the hands of private owners I don’t see this as such a big loss.
