In need Ti pipe!
So I am trying to do this Ti muffler mod.. I need tubing grade 2 I think everyone is using 1.5 but if i can find 1.75 or 2" I would like to don't know what wall thickness either. I just need someone who knows what to buy to tell me what to get so I can have someone local do this. I am tired of my car sounding weak. Yes i have search there are so many different types of tubing, seamless? welded tubing?

Totally bs mod. Not worth the time and money................ A 2 HP increase at best.
Want a loud car, (like all the kids with mustangs) buy headers and stingers.
But hey, to each his own.

To the OP, Google Sandvik Special Metals. They are a Titanium tubing manufacturer right here in the Tri-Cities. (Finley, WA. a suburb of Kennewick) I'd use 1.75 or 2".

Tico Titanium is where I bought mine. Go thicker than .030, it was difficult for my welder to notch that thin.
It is a fantastic mod...much better sound than stock or most aftermarket exhausts...sounds very exotic, still lighter than any other "muffler'd" exhaust, and you keep the Ti. I do like the sound of Borla Stingers, but they are just too loud...would blow the db level at Limerock.
Good luck,
