Right, just been surfing the net and noticed on ebay that there appear to be a few american firms selling Titanium exhaust systems (turbo back) for about the same price as a UK stainless system. Just wondered if anybody on here has:
Ever heard one in action (different metals make the system sound different ?) ?
Wondered if their would be a significant weight advantage wot do u think ?
Anyone know of a UK firm selling these ?
Schweet,
Steve

I had heard that titanium exhaust are much louder.

half a standard exhaust weight would be quite a saving, but not having a say in the design means you can't guarantee its free flowing and it could cost you power.

would it make up for itself?

x% weight loss versus y% power loss?
