I have the stock z06 titanium exhaust but I want to replace the pipe between my long tube headers and Axle-back with a titanium piece. Does anyone make these or have the ability to make them?

I'll respond to this because the information is scarce. You can find titanium in all sorts of sizes, and alloys at titaniumjoe.com

I haven't heard of full titanium exhausts for the C5 platform, but I've seen them in both the import car world as well as the motorcycle world.

For the costs involved with having a custom piece fabbed, I think you'd be better off saving weight elsewhere if that is your main goal.

Your probably right. However I was hoping the 3-4 foot long x pipe would be cheap enough to replace if I could find someone who makes them. Might save 5+ pounds since current one is stainless steel.
