Help with Titanium Exhaust question please
Hi,
I've been looking for a Titanium exhaust, axle back and a very nice gentleman has offered me a free one but it was cut and he lost the pieces.
Here is the post https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1591660591
Could you guys tell me what needs to be done to this exhaust? I've heard that it is difficult to weld a Titanium and many shops can't do it or won't touch it.
How would you tackle this? It's a 4-5 hour drive to go pick this up. So I want to be sure that I can use it. I have asked him for pictures and will post them as soon as I get them. Any tips/advice?
Kind regards

I've got a ti catback that came off my car. Unfortunately I had to cut the over the axle pipes to remove it due to ground clearance on the removal. I've since lost those over the axle pieces. However, if you want to drive down here to SC and pick them up, you can have the rest of the exhaust. Absolutely free. They are just taking up space in my garage. Mufflers and tips are in good condition. Just cut them a few inches away from the mufflers in the over the axle pipes.

Hit my Boy RJ's custom piping in Raleigh up. He can weld them for you. He does ALOT of the High end Hotrods around here and from the Surrounding states. Hes also done every Exhaust on any car Ive owned plus all my intercooler pipings. But your task is going to be to find some titanium tubing and itll need to be bent correctly and welded to fit. Ron can do this as he has a mandrel Bender and all. No idea how much Ti piping cost though. Let me know if you need the number.

"Just cut them a few inches away from the mufflers in the over the axle pipes." I would call that mufflers basically. If you want it done correctly your gonna need ti piping in the same size as stock. Or you could just get him to bend regular pipes and just clamp them to the Mufflers.
