anyone had any experience with this manifold?? seems very interesting... is there any benefit using titanium besides weight over stainless steel???

 

you can charge people more for it

 

There is one guy here in So Cal running this manifold.
He drives his cars, and haven't heard him have any problems!

 

sure looks good

 

Wow that looks nice. I am not sure how Ti will hold up to the extreme heat. Welding Ti is tricky too. You need to make sure that the area is clean and shielded in an inert gas. Any small error will reduce the integrity of the welds and lead to failure.


I bet it weighs 10 lbs lighter than a stainless version!

Get it and let us know how it works

 

How much is that piece?

 

Strongest and lightest metal out there???

 

strongest by weight , just like carbon fiber is stronger than steel by weight. Our carbon wings break like paper because it's like .5lbs cf if it was 15lbs of cf then it would be stronger than 15lbs of steel.

 

think about $1200

 

sexiest manifold evAr.

 

where can u buy this bad boy? and is it made for the stock turbo?

 

Title says ASPEC! I think website is aspecproducts.com?

 

Ti has better spool characteristics because of the exhaust heat not being able to transfer out of the tube. It contains the heat which equals energy this is really good for turbos the only thing better would be inconell. NurSpecSupport is correct it is very hard to weld correctly and is prone to failure when not done properly.

 

Lighter weight....how much of a difference im not sure maybe a pound

 

The other problem is that Ti is very strong and lightweight, it is also brittle. It can crack when subject to high vibrations and stress.
