If you want to increase titanium's heat resistance you would have to increase the thickness of the piping which would add weight, which results in something just as heavy as steel. This is totally pointless, unless you want to be a JDM baller.

 

They only make ti for testpipe back. You cant get a ti downpipe because of the cooling property's.

 

Exactly.

 

Inconel, I know what that is. Gets veryyyyy hot though, you would probibly have problems with melting stuff under your car with an inconel DP, you would have to do a titanium heatshield all the way back.

 

Care to qualify these statements? Those are some very bold claims, and saying "probably lighter or equal to" is not very smart.

 

Man, come on, blue burnt tip, etc...Also, you can visually see the difference between stanless steal and Titanium. Yes if it gets dirty you can't see the difference but not everybody drives their car daily and would like to show it.

 

No, I do not care to "qualify" those statements. And do not tell me what is not smart, MyEvoDream.

 

Uh, ok, then don't make claims you can't support.

 

Blue burnt tip??? Uh, that's one tiny part of the entire exhaust system. What would a burnt tip (like on the Megan exhaust that only costs $550 and is stainless steel) have to do with a full titanium TBE? Nothing.

No one said anything about show cars. Plus, the vast majority of "show" cars get driven to the show anyway...

 

i said before that there is a Ti downpipe...

here it is...

 

Look, you can tell a difference man. It doesn't matter what you think anyway. I have read through this forum enough to know that your position is "cheap power". Which is awesome, you go and get some cheap power. But it always isn't about that. Why get Rays wheels when you can use get some cheap knock offs, i mean the weight is about the same and look really similar. I really can't stand people who try to put down other people or tell them they are stupid for wasting money, blah blah blah. Man grow up and offer helpful advice. No one wants your opinion or if they do they will be like, Warrtalon, I was thinking about getting the HKS Carbon TI exhaust what do you think i should do? Then you can interject all the opinion you want. Otherwise just be helpful not overally opinionated and rude.

 

You get Rays, because they are the ultimate in high quality, strength, and are very light - knockoff wheels are not the same in strength, build quality, and weight. Titanium is high quality, strong, and light, but we're talking about an exhaust, not wheels - gigantic difference in cost benefit. I'm not just about cheap power - I'm about SENSIBLE power. You say you see a difference, but I don't. It's just metal piping with a burnt tip, and it gets dirty in a hurry. I'm sure you know this if you have a car with an aftermarket exhaust. Plus, you can only see the tip when the exhaust is on the car, so that makes the "looks" even more useless.

Grow up and offer helpful advice? I grew up a long time ago, and I give tons of helpful advice. The ones who need to grow up are the ones who can't handle feedback, especially ones who aren't even the ones asking for advice (e.g. you).

You are now saying that for anyone to answer, they have to be specifically addressed? Wow, that made no sense. I don't see anyone being addressed in any of these threads. It's also funny how you're going off the handle here about me being "rude." I guess you completely forgot my initial response which was not rude at all. I answered the question DIRECTLY, and you got offended, even though it wasn't your question. Amazing...

 

no where in my original post does it ask for advice. Infact I asked if anyone knew of a titanium TBE.

 

Only because you gave the wrong answer. There are Ti downpipes. If you don't think they work fine. He isn't looking at a Buschurs. Oooo wait he doesn't sell a Ti exhaust so guess we doesn't need any more info.

 

Also, why spend so much money on wheels when the stock wheels in the same equivalent size in Rays weight about the same, are just as strong and according to many sources just as high quality. BBS wheels are all these things but people still insist on upgrading...no I know bigger wheels allow for better track performance, more rubber more traction but getting 18's (most of the time can inhibit performance) rotational mass and weight are the contributing factors here. If the wheels weight less then great, but almost all 18 in wheels weight more than 17.7 lbs which are the stock wheel weights. This would not be a "sensible upgrade". More of a style or statement, in most cases. But hey, who am I to judge!
