What is a titanium exhaust?

A titanium exhaust is manufactured to prevent rust and decay and can also protect your exhaust from premature wear and tear.

Does titanium exhaust sound different?

Aside of being extremely lightweight and strong, there is also a noticeable difference in sound when comparing Titanium to your standard Stainless Steel exhaust system, this is because Titanium is less dense than steel allowing it to produce a more exotic “Metallic” sound.

Is a titanium exhaust good?

Titanium exhaust systems are approximately 40% lighter in weight than stainless due to the fact that titanium is much stronger and requires less thickness in the material for comparable strength. This weight savings when the ENTIRE exhaust is made up of titanium can add up to a good bit of weight.

How strong is a titanium exhaust?

Since titanium is stronger and lighter than steel we are able to provide an exhaust system that withstands abuse better than its steel counterparts while weighing only a fraction of a factory exhaust system. Titanium maintains its strength and characteristics easily in temperatures above 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

Are titanium exhaust louder?

They are not louder the pitch is different due to the differences in the specific gravity of the materials. Titanium is actually going to drone less due to it making a higher pitch sound. A good quality titanium exhaust will not suffer cracking!

Are Titanium Exhausts Worth the Money?

Why do titanium exhausts turn blue?

Motorcycle exhaust pipes turn blue as a result of extreme heat passing through them. This is usually caused by the motorcycle running lean, meaning there is too much air and too little gas being mixed together which causes a higher temperature to pass through the exhaust pipes.

How hot does a titanium exhaust get?

Titanium exhaust wrap is capable of withstanding direct heat up to 1800 F and 2500 F of radiant heat.

How do I know if my exhaust is titanium?

Registered. The discoloration of titanium is much more intense as it heats up with exhaust systems. Stainless pipes tend to stay looking bronze colored, while titanium will turn blue, gold, purple, pink and you might even spot tiny blotches of green around welds.

How much does a titanium exhaust cost?

These systems will run upwards of $7,000, with the system for the Avendator hitting $8,099. Ti-Tek exhaust systems for Nissan, McLaren, and other makes are slightly more reasonably priced, but will still run several thousand dollars on average.

What is better titanium or stainless steel exhaust?

Steel is more useful than titanium across parts of the vehicle that require hardened materials, such as the axles. However, titanium exhausts make a better choice than stainless steel ones in terms of reliability. Unlike stainless steel, titanium is not corrosive, won't rust, and won't stain.

Is titanium better than stainless steel?

Which is stronger? When alloyed with other metals such as aluminium or vanadium, titanium becomes dramatically stronger than many steels. In terms of sheer strength, the best titanium alloys beat low to medium grade stainless steels. However, the highest grade of stainless steel is stronger than titanium alloys.

Does exhaust material change sound?

The sound of the exhaust will be most affected by the packing in the muffler and the perf tube construction, not the material used for the shell. As for the packing, a difference in material, packing density, and even fiber diameter can make a difference in the sound.

How do you clean titanium exhaust?

We recommend using a solvent or contact cleaner such as WD-40 on the pipe itself and any muffler or outer sleeve. A soft, clean, dry cloth should be used to wipe the system down; microfibre is ideal. A soft and slim “wheel brush” can be used to gently clean inside the exhaust tip to remove any carbon build up.

How much does a titanium exhaust weigh?

A titanium cat-back offers just that. The COBB Titanium Exhaust is right at 24 pounds assembled. This is less than half of the Stainless Steel counterpart!

How can I tell the difference between stainless steel and titanium?

Titanium vs Stainless Steel: Color

Titanium and stainless steel in the natural state are silvery metals. The difference is that titanium is somewhat darker. In another dimension, both titanium and stainless steel may look grey, however, titanium will be darker than stainless.

Does a stainless steel exhaust sound better?

Stainless exhausts generally sound similar or identical to mild steel exhaust. The difference is that stainless systems are mandrel bent, which allows for better flow. Stainless exhausts are a great choice for cost-effective products, but you'll need to ensure that you're getting what is advertised.

Is a stainless steel exhaust better?

Put simply, the benefits of a stainless steel exhaust are quality, performance and longevity. It's better to buy stainless steel exhaust components, unlike mild steel components, because they won't rust or corrode when they're scratched or scarred.

How long does titanium exhaust wrap last?

DEI's Titanium wrap is resistant to chemicals and will retain its original color for the life of the wrap, which can be three to five years.

What does a titanium exhaust wrap do?

Our titanium wrap works by insulating the heat from the exhaust to lower engine bay temperatures. This helps to improve the flow of gases from the exhaust, helping increase the output of your engine. Our Titanium exhaust wrap is extremely pliable, perfect for all applications.

How hot do Turbos get?

A turbocharger turbine lives in a terribly hostile environment. The turbine is driven by exhaust gasses that can exceed 1875°F (1025°C) and which are very corrosive.

Does burnt titanium fade?

If it is titanium that is burnt, it should last forever since extreme temperatures created the color.

Does titanium change color when heated?

The oxidation is produced by a heating process that causes the titanium to change color. The color will not fade or chip though it can be scratched off.

How do I stop my exhaust from bluing?

There are many different cleaning products and polishes that are designed specifically for getting rid of the exhaust bluing. One example is Blue-Job Metal Polish. With this polish you use the included applicator cloth and a little water to make a paste out of the polish then rub it across the pipe.
