What are the dimensions of that piping? Maybe I can help.

Better finish? FWIW, I'm far more enthusiastic about TIG welded titanium tubing. Other than bending titanium at such funky angles is probably harder than welding it.

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Don't you throw off the ecu with test pipes deleting the primary cats though?

better finished quality? It doesn't get much better then that. Those are some of the best welds i've ever seen on a piece like that!!! Titanium does not bend well either.

I'd rather hang those on a wall the put them on the car!!! All the gear heads in my office are drop jaw right now...and most of us hate the new GTR
