I haven't purchased any titanium parts from them, but I did make one very large purchase with them. I can tell you that mostly everything I received didn't fit, and their customer service will give you the runabout. I will never make a purchase with them again, nor will I recommend them to anyone.

X2. The only products ive seen that work well are the radiators and the oil coolers.

Everything else is junk.

Fitment of my Rotary Works FD Compression Tube was also no problems. Seems hit and miss.

Auto zone style.

I bought a brake booster a long time ago and that things bolt holes were so for off i was amazed that I managed to get it on, of course this was by tightening it on with the bolts forcing it to move back. Very high quality!!

there Ti engine parts are most likely fine, I personally know quite a few professional engine builders/shops that have used their ti exhaust sleeves, and front bolt/rear nut ti combo w/ no issues at all. Also generally heard good about the tb elbow although I think some had to drill out one of the holes or something. Now as far as their ic and pulley kits, well I've heard mostly bad about those.
