titanium exhaust pros and cons...

[StephenB]

Supposedly changes exhaust tone...may help with a rotary.

If you are feeling flush, you might want to spec out Inconel.

Either way, fabrication is a challenge.

Thanks,

Don't care about tone since it's a racecar. I am more worried about durability over several years, I don't want to replace this thing in a few months... Also worried about heating up the transmission and diff. currently I use exhaust wrap but I have no clue if you can do wrap on this. The only real benifit I see so far is possibly weight.?.

a quick google search found this:
1. Titanium is a nonpoisonous and biologically inert metal.
2. Steel is stronger, but has a more fatigue life than titanium.
3. Steel can shatter, whereas titanium can withstand high and low temperatures.
4. Steel is magnetic and corrosive when compared to titanium that is nonmagnetic and anti corrosive.
5. Steel is preferred when strength is needed in a hard material, and titanium is preferred where a lightweight and strong material is required
