I just saw "titanium" everywhere and immediately thought $$$$$$. Heh.
Here's an exhaust tip if you're going to fab your own: A weight/cost compromise between titanium and 'ordinary' 16 gauge 304 stainless steel is to use 20 gauge 321 stainless steel. It is far more corrosion resistant and stronger at high temp than 304. This allows you to use thinner wall tubing and thinner flanges. 16 gauge is about .065" thick wall, whereas 20 gauge is .035" thick wall. It's not going to be quite exactly half the weight, but it will be much less.
But more expensive than 304.
