True Ti products are not for the penny pinchers. Material is super expensive and the welding process is very time consuming. The end result is a ridiculous amount of weight savings though. |

Ti looks so nice with just a simple brushed finish (see nice road bike frames), but then these guys have to f' it up with the stupid blue tips. Meh.

The exhaust itself costs 500$, its the name-plate theyve tack welded onto the muffler that costs 2800$.

This is a beeeeeeautiful exhaust. Loving the weight. But it's out of access for budget conscious people. Whoever gets it, would love it. I give it 5 thumbs up... if I had three more.

normal performance exhaust with weight reduction= $1,500
Titanium for an extra 5lbs of weight savings= $1,400 MORE!  I'd rather work out and lose the 5lbs myself! |

edited: I can actually put you in contact with a supplier for 1.6$/inch if youd like, depends on the purity of grade 2 your looking for, and I am assuming your looking for grade 2.

Looks like top notch work as usual.
A duel tip (4 cyl) Ti kind of negates its own weight saving advantages, single exit on the other hand. muwahahaha Less than 8lbs! http://str-w.jp/ti-muffler.html |

The cost of titanium exhausts will be coming down in price (hopefully) in a few years. |
