seriously, unless you want a quiet car the obvious choice here would be the exotic speed

i would disagree but thats just me. high grade stainless no blemishing rusting (yes low grade stainless rusts, and standup to any cleaner acid included, weld on so you dont loose them. uless you go full exhaust the yes i would say thats a better route. the exotic speed is made for their exhaust. so you would have to cut them and then weld titanium to either stainless or carbon. any titanium welds i have done have been in a controled enviroment and specialized tools

Bumblebee's tips are sick but $400.00 is way too much. I have Magnaflow tips welded on and it looks perfect, cost me $40.00. I would get aftermarket but my car is loud enough with the mid-pipe.

What's the percentage of Chromium in your stainless steel? You need at least 18% to make it anti corrosive......I'd still go with the titanium exoticspeed....I think I've said this before.

im not here to try and sell them honestly i if i have the only set it dont bother me i just gave him a option and told him why i chose to make mine over all the other options. i am a certified welder and went against titanium and bolt on for those reasons.
