With the quality of the welds on the exhaust the inside is virtually like a smooth single pipe.

Titanium is very brittle compared to regular steel, so bending it to our requirements wasn't an option. Each individual piece is bent to the maximum amount before it is welded to another piece, so each piece has it's own arc to it.


Glad you guys like it. If anyone has any more questions feel free to ask.
