Custom anodized Titanium goodness

Welded by Scott @ Ballistic Motorsports and anodized by me. What do you guys think?

Blow-off pipe
Radiator hard pipes
Engine cover (still needs to be anodized)
Amuse style Ti-C tip
more stuff coming soon...







resting on the valve cover for fitment so it looks a bit off

that ti radiator pipe is the first i've seen...it's interesting, but i think they kept it silicone even for aftermarket because it generates heat...of course, i'm not sure about the ti stuff...but that's just common sense.

i'd rock a hard radiator pipe if it works though. looks so much better.

How did you do the coloring? Did you use the torch method or the chemical method?

Were you around the edison/newbrunswick/highland park area yesterday?

I saw a WW X with a noticeably loud exhaust going down 27 south while walking to a friends house. Thought you might've been the WW X from turbotrix but I saw florida plates. If that was you, nice ride man.
