No longer available. Here's an old dead webpage a search turned up on their site:

I believe (but don't quote me) that these were over $2k when new, which probably had something to do with their sales volume. They occasionally turn up on the used market, and are quickly snapped up at a good price.
The titanium exhaust, OEM or Corsa, is really quite amazing technology, and very expensive to make. Check the replacement price on a C5 Z06 muffler assembly sometime.
Do they still make it and how much is it?http://www.corsaperf.com/flashc5-titanium.htm

I am a former aicraft industry welder and welded Titanium on an almost a daily basis. It IS weldable, but MUST be done in a completely inert atmosphere, i.e. no Oxygen present. It can only be TIG welded in a Argon chamber or with a trailing cup, otherwise it oxidizes almost immediately and has zero structural integrity. Not equipment your average welding shop posesses, especially a muffler shop.
Is this from experience?
