Possible, but difficult since the Tis are, well, Ti. Welding anything to Titanium is a difficult task that requires special equipment and normally can't be done by your neighborhood welder. Nice car, BTW, good choice of color...

BigJoe, we need to get together sometime. I live & work in Hurst. In fact, I may have come across you once on Precint Line in front of Lowes a few weeks back! I waved AND gave you the thumbs up. I believe you also had another guy sittin in the passenger seat. I could be wrong though, but I did come across another Spiral Gray as I was exiting Kohls. Anyhow, I'd like to hear your exhaust sometime. Cant decide on which route to take. Z06 ti's or Corsa "Pace Car" edition. I really like those GTR tips alot.

There are 2-3 other MSGs in the Mid Cities area. I see a vert every so often and a coupe (maybe you???). I seldom get over the Precinct Line way any more but it could be me I guess. But the passenger would have been my wife (she has short hair... ). As far as the Tis. If you do it for the sound you will probably be disapointed. Almost stock sound at anything but WOT. I got them for the weight savings and the better looking tips,not to mention a lot cheaper than other brands.

Have not heard of anyone actually changing the ti tips, although the question has come up a few times.

Two problems here. First welding on TI is tricky, and second the factory exhaust has two outlets and the GTR's have a single inlet so you'd have to merge the two into one. Not impossible, but takes some skill.
