Boostedwrx you are right! After looking at the table of elements titanium is more dense than aluminum, so therefore heavier. By being more dense it should keep the intake charge cooler compared to aluminum by better shielding the intake air from the hot engine bay.

For bling. Ya and the only reason ti parts are lighter is because it is so strong that you can use much less material and still get the same strength or more.

I think ARC is doing this as a test bed. They check to see how many people are interested and if they get good response then they'll probably do IC piping kit.

Think if they do make full IC piping kit, how much will it cost? There's 3 pipe right, so lets say $500 each so that would make it $1,500 just for the piping kit. Think if they sell it as their IC kit. Their IC is already $1,500, plus the Ti pipe, it'll cost $3,000 for the IC kit. Money must be coming out of your @$$ for you to get a kit like that. But what a way to say you have money. I'm pretty sure someone would buy it. Like one of the members on this forum. He owns IX, SL 55, Porsche GT3 and planning to get an Audi RS 6.
