Titanium tips

Just wondering if it's possible to paint or "mod" the stock exhaust to titanium tips?

I just ordered twin Ti mufflers to make my own exhaust. The Ti tip market is pretty scarce. Material is quite expensive.

Going for the "Greedy Look"?? :p

Yes, I agree material has gotten very expensive as of lately...

Actually I think I am just gonna do duals not quads and these mufflers are kinda big. The Greddy pipes are nice and compact. I would like to make new rear bumper tips out of carbon so it would be a Ti pipe poking its little head out of a carbon cave :D

Fig, will you still maintain the diagonal or V format of the rear mufflers?

yep, my moto is that things should bolt on. I will basically make a new rear tip insert peice and have the Ti tip come through it.

Hmmmm, I'd like to see it once you get it all done Fig, it sounds interesting

Very cool.... !

The tip idea sounds interesting..
We had some tip replacements on the drawing board, but decided to leave the OEM's as they were, since they give the nice sleeper look & of course keeps production costs way down..

It would be great if your Tip replacements work injuction with the OEM system or other ones... ;)

yes, my thoughts exactly ;)
Its really best if you want a Ti look to get a Ti exhaust. Its not easy to weld Ti to regular stainless steel, you'd need a really good muffler shop that has Titanium rods and skill to actually combine the 2. However im sure there are a few shops out there than can produce that effect without using Ti, JoeZ im sure has plenty of solutions just waiting to happen!

Actually the mufflers I have are Ti, and they have a separate cup that is stainless. The two metals never need to be welded because the muffler is spring fastened to the Stainless like a motorcycle racing exhaust.

I took the exhasut off and I have started to work on it. But I am heading ou on vacation this week, so more delay.
