That looks amazing! I'd rock that header with my titanium Tomei exhaust.

I didn't think titanium was the best material for headers, but maybe it's just the cost issue. I do love the look of titanium products, with the sweet welds, oooohh yeeaah.

I think if I were going to pay a premium above stainless steel prices, I'd get inconel.

Inconel would be better. Handles heat superbly and also will be lighter than a titanium counter part.

Neat but inconel is the superior material for a header or turbo manifold while titanium is the superior one for exhaust systems like tomei's


For me, there is no glide in pulse and glide :p

Have a look at their UEL header, looks a lot like Tomei, wonder if they manufacture for them.

Their Titanium welding looks identical to the Tomei exhaust's we have installed...Very possible.
