Default TI catback titanium spec

Does anyone know or have information regarding the titanium catbacks from the z06s? I'm getting one that i will be doing the TI mod on and my welder asked for the spec of the titanium so he can get the correct welding rod etc. Is there any info on this anywhere?

The tubing I purchased was CP Grade 2. My welder was able to stick it fine.

Sound gains, it lets you have a nice loud sound at wot and no drone while cruising around and highway rides. Also it sounds very exotic compared to most v8 exhaust sounds and other corvette exhausts in general.
