New Ti header the manufacture wont tell me anything

Someone is testing the new Blox Racing Ti setup. Here is the one and only pic I have I got off FB.
When I inquired I was basically shut down.

Extreme heat and vibration is the bane of Ti.

This isn't abnormal. They aren't ready to share more details likely because it's too early for them to confirm certain things about the header in case it changes. They want to share the weight (4.85lbs), materials (titanium), design choice (4-1), and nothing more.

A lot of companies will drum up interest to see what the consumers think of what they've done and any demanded tweaks, as well as to ensure there's a decent buyer base when they launch.

Although I have used Blox in previous cars I was inquiring to find out results. They do not have any yet. As my build is nearing final button up of the engine I may be running through a gambit of header combinations..

Aside from weight savings is titanium really worth it at all compared to an all stainless steel exhaust? I'm debating this currently for my own setup.

a full titanium header will probably cost 5x the normal header price lol. you might shave off some extra pounds, but 10 lbs or so is not worth spending that much money on it

Unless you need extreme weight reduction, no. You'll be constantly replacing headers when they crack.

back in the day when everyone wanted fancy headers, inconel was preferred.

I honestly can't imagine any real need for this, even from a weight savings standpoint.

This is 100% "Check out the mirror under my bumper so you can see my cool header" kind of thing

Tons of penis points with the bro crowd for sure though.

I also have a feeling its not going to sound all that great either; and based on that picture the design is pretty much a copy of any affordable setup you can currently buy.
