guys i have an evo 9 mr with a full Titanium exhaust from trust.

i was driving and when i shifted to 3rd gear at 7,000 rpm the mid pipe between the muffler and the test pipe fell .

i think it wasnt welded proparly.

Do you think it will happen again after welding it?

 

Best bet, v-band your test pipe. Titanium has trouble being welded to steel

 

If you want it welded correctly you have to go to a exhaust/muffler shop that specifically welds titanium. It may be pretty hard to find a place that does that and will probably be pretty expensive.

 

Pictures would be nice. Are there no flanges? Did the weld clearly break? Is it a slip fitted system? There alot of variables. But I would say that not many places around you will weld titanium properly.

 

the easiest/ cheapest route would be to goto an exhaust shop and have them make a slip fit test pipe out of stainless steel, cut off the flanges on the downpipe and cat-back(if there are any) and just slip in the SS test pipe....thats what id do because like stated earlier, its going to be hard to find someone to weld titanium

 

guyz..is it possible if i changed this part and ask an exhaust shop to manufacture a SS pipe?

 

Common fault on the Trust Ti.

 

I think the tomei is also made of titanium and I have heard stories of other owners running titanium exhausts having issues with getting them repaired. Your best bet is to slip fit a test pipe as not many shops will be able to weld titanium.

Ditto on the pics, as I have the same exhaust.

 

i heard of that problem with the trust Ti exhaust, so i got a JIC magic one....no problems shifting at 9500k (just alotta fire -__-) , take it to a exhaust shop and have them see what they can do to fix it!

 

please tell me how the rpms where you shift affects your exhaust

 

/\/\this!

 

You didn't hear an exhaust leak up until now?

 

Titanium cannot be welded to Steel. Not at all.
