Been waiting for this one to appear lol. the mods look killer already Steve. ps
yes welding titanium properly is quite tricky . It needs TONS of gas flow of and back purging ,also you need to be careful as titanium can and will become brittle ...its temp sensitive

Thanks Mfain !! Looks great

Ryan, thanks brother ...
So before attempting this titanium build I kept hearing 'oh no don't do titanium it's going to crack !!

YES... it will IF (Ryan I think you'll agree with these)
You use thin walled titanium (we used Titon, one of, if not the best)
It's not welded properly ... Matt is one of the best around
The exhaust is not supported properly ... LOT of consideration went into this, with custom water-jet cut support brackets

We should be good !!
