Custom Fab Titanium Exhaust

Lots of interesting information in here. I think I might stick with stainless though because we are going to coat the entire exhaust with swaintech coating and also heatwrap it.

In the future I will probly do some stainless as well. Im not positive but im guessing the cost to swaintech coat an entire exhaust would be more expense than its worth. they charge like $170 and up just to do a turbo manifold. dont get me wrong, the shit is sweet, I just dont know how much of a benefit doing the whole thing would be. I would totally recomend against using header wrap. youll have well over $100 into the wrap and it mostlikely will just rot away since its under the car.

Thanks for the info. that is how I was planing on doing the hangers.

as a note to all who have expressed interest on this topic you may be happy to know that I have secured a titanium supplier that has exactly the size tubing im looking for and a pretty much unlimited supply of it. also the pricing is not all that steep and will surely come down as i order in larger quantitys. Im hoping to have start the fabbing on this in the next couple of weeks hopefully. after the first one is done and ready to go i may consider doing a group buy type sell to be sure everyone gets the best price possible. I will be sure to post more info as I have it. thanks again.

Swaintech becomes fairly reasonable when you get a 50% sponsorship discount As far as heatwrap, the car is 95% race/drift and 5% occasional street trip to a meet, etc. I may not need the heat wrap and we may only coat/wrap manifold and downpipe.
