Does anyone know of such a thing? Ti. is becoming bigger and bigger in top end performance components, just check out the bike market, some bikes come stock with titanium muffler.

 

ok so your y-pipe will out last you.. is it really worth it?

 

Titanium has better heat handling ability. It doesn't shrink and expand as much with the heat so it could be better for those who run NOS or s/cer but it probably wouldn't be worth it in the long run(price wise)

 

Hogan, where'd you get the titanium from? I've been looking for some bulk titanium to mess around with.

titanium??? - why u want that for......??? and no - u wont find it unless its custom

 

according to that website titanium is not recommended for high temp. applications like high pressure turbochargers or rotary engine exhausts. Would that might also include Y pipes as well??

 

Titanium costs approximately 10 times more than stainless steel. Good luck selling it.

 

the cost is way too much to make. your probably going to have to cast it from a foundary because titanium is very hard to work with. and wouldnt ti snap before it breaks?

 

 

Weld a flange on it and see what happens...

 

I work at Bombardier aerospace in Montréal, and we have a computerized bending system, but I just wanted to know if it already existed on the market. But it would be faster and easyer if sombody already made one. That means I will have exclusivity.

For the people that are missinformed on Ti, in the aircraft industrie we use it in rigid hydraulic lines(3000psi use/5000psi tested), also for exhaust and other components on engines, structural load bearing components. Titanium has higher strength then stainless for the same thikness, so components can be made thiner(lighter).
