Your thoughts on a custom dual tip titanium exhaust
I haven't seen any around, mainly just the "N1" style fart can. Just want to pick your brains and hear your thoughts about a custom dual tip titanium exhaust. Some thing like my CAD design below. Ive been learning to tig weld, and I know titanium is difficult to weld, but I'm thinking to try it out some time soon.

Like make the actual muffler portion, or just the piping and tips? Only problem with experimenting with welding Ti is the extreme cost of even the raw materials...I would venture a guess it would probably be cheaper, faster, and much easier to just purchase one of the pre-fabbed cat backs that are out there.
But with that said, try it out if you got the time and money. Maybe you will be starting a group buy soon, who knows.

I'm talking about a full cat back, everything Ti... there are a few companies on eBay selling Ti sheets and such and the prices aren't horrible. The problem I have with whats out there is they aren't "stealthy". Group buy... haha lets not get ahead of our selfs.

Its definitely a big project, I was thinking maybe build it first in steel since its much cheaper, and to get the process down. I'm not thinking to bend the Ti physically, it seems a popular theme to making bends with Ti exhaust is to cut the tube a various angles and weld them like the pic.

Are you going to have different size tips? The N1 duals and the old PFS duals for example have different tip sizes. That might would be a big selling factor if so, not everyone likes big or small tips.

I believe the "burnt Tips" come from heating the metal with a torch, If everything works out, then I would definitely be interested in sharing some rotary love haha

i strongly disagree with $3000.00 for an exhaust of that semi low caliber.
in regards to welding the Ti metals.. be sure to run your gas inside the tubing as well if you're not going to weld it in an enclosed container.

I was researching how to convert a blast cabinet, but not sure if i want to go that route, extra $$$ I'll probably end up capping the ends of the tubing and running the argon through it

oh I know, And the people that can afford those cars can afford their parts too. I just think I can do it for less and make something that no one offers.
