If you do choose to go titanium, for whatever reason, it would behoove you to buy it from a manufacturer, as I wouldn't trust your average exhaust shop to weld titanium properly.

As for mufflers, I like Borla.
Ti is a lot lighter. But dollar per lbs, you can do it else where.


As far as welding, Ti isn't much off, you just have to have the right gear. Cutting it, well that's another cluster. Stainless welds up a lot easier than Aluminum. I actually enjoy it.
