Someone already makes Ti exhaust.
As for IC no. People have on other applications. just not on the gen.

Yea, the only real advantage is weight savings and a boost in ego since you can say that you have titanium parts on your car.
However, if you have titanium parts with badly oxidized welds, this can causelong-term issues such as brittle joints and increase chances of breakage. Especcially on exhausts since they see lots of heat cycles.
A quality Ti weld should look like this across the entire heat affected zone, this means on the "other side" of the weld as well.

yes welds are important but also on ss systemsYea, the only real advantage is weight savings and a boost in ego since you can say that you have titanium parts on your car.

btw can i please use n abuse ur avi? shes hot!:hsugh::hsugh::hsugh:
not necessarily bad welds as far as technique, more like not enough gas and not letting it cool down enough between passes. 
Phase,
yes, quality welds are important on stainless exhausts also, but its MUCH easier to screw up a weld on Ti than it is on steel. And yea, she is really hot. I don't know if you noticed, but there's a car in that image also ;-). That's actually Pmastron's car. We had a photo shoot at the shop about a year or so ago with some models, and he was nice enough to let us use his car. If you want to see more, you can go here:

AKGC,
I suppose, but isn't running enough gas and letting it cool down enough between passes all a part of good technique? And it's not just a matter of letting it cool down enough. The entire HAZ needs to be shielded in argon while it's cooling off, including the back of the weld also. So they would need to run argon inside the exhaust pipe, and over the face of the weld. Either that or perform the entire welding process inside of a chamber that has been purged with argon.
Suns_PSD,
you think maybe it could have something to do with the resonance of the material possibly affecting the wave action of the exhaust?

its possible it flows better but i ain't ever seen it? anyone mandrel bending it right yet?Phase,

these chop and weld bends will loose flow! minutely but will!
