Wouldn't titanium headers be awesome?
Can titanium stand up to the heat?
I know my Ti exhaust is super duper light so why not do titanium headers?

titanium is perfect for high heat. My ducati headers are titanium. Very pricey though

Yeah I know titanium costs a lot but they did it for the catback so what the heck why not do headers too?
And see sportbikes have them.
