Ti Upper IC Piping

I don't know if you guys have seen this or not or if it a repost but thought that i should share it.

They're an arm and a leg (probably your left nut too) to get. But man they look nice.

Wow, Super sweet....I just don't think a couple ounces would make a difference. Especially for that cost, just drive around with a half a tank if that's your main concern. Would look super cool under the hood though!!!

Well the company will ship it to your, but it's going to cost $600 and $680 for the other one.

I like it, but sorry I don't make 6 figures to afford them.

Titanium is lighter than aluminum. That titanium pipe is a total waste of money. The weight difference between titanium and aluminum is minimal also.

I think this is pointless. I really think this is more then a look factor then a performance product. If they really where going for performance they would have done the whole pipe from i/c to intake manifold.

Aluminum is less dense than Titanium, so if your given the same amount of both materials Aluminum is always going to be lighter. Of course, like everyone knows, it's not as strong as Titanium.

This intercooler pipe would have to use about 60% less material than the Aluminum counterpart to just weigh the same...

Ill make you a gold plated intercooler if you really want it. Is it really practical i think not. The craftmenship is unbelivable on that pipe.
