Titanium exhaust
Ok, i happened to go by the metal recycling shop here in town and happened to come across an insane deal.....

3" 20 ft/ long straight sections of small guage titanium piping, and 3" titanium U-bends. They charge by the weight, and it is only $6 per pound. for 20 feet and 3 u bends it was less than $20.

So it looks like when i get a chance i will be making a titanium exhaust for my car. And yes, i know how to weld many different exotic metals and have all the serial numbers for the rod i need.

i was looking for stainless. So i was asked, what type of tubing is that? (because they wouldnt let me back there, and it was about 50 feet away). And they replied "it is Grade 7 titanium alloy"


SOLD!

Were gonna make a cat back and turbo back exhaust system for boosted cars. Im not sure how much of the titanium i can get. They only had a few lengths of it. Ill see how much more i can get.

Our exhaust that will be available will be jet-hot coated.

Welding titanium is hard though, you've got to use a total inert gas atmosphere don't you? Otherwise it'll become all brittle. Do you just happen to have a TIG welder laying around?
