More of smaller priviate shops still do the pie-cuts. And since no-one really makes large bore Ti piping most just start with a big flat sheet, roll it to their desired dia' and start from their.

Here's a few i've had,

Mandrel:


Pie-cut


Back to the topic, I'd be very interested to see what you come up with, having tried several Ti-setup's out their It would be great to get something local. I personally would love to get a Quiet Ti exhuast. Somthing with a oval can, just different from the run of the mill like i had before.

Keep us posted.
