aluminum is going to be lighter than ti unless the titanium tube you use is super thin. titanium is 50% heavier than aluminum so for real savings you need to make it more than 50 percent thinner. If aluminum tube for a CAI is a about .118" wall you would want the titanium to be at most .048 wall to make the best use of the titanium's strength to weight ratio and once you get that thin it's going to be a pain to bend and weld if it wasn't already.
