How do you know your exhaut Titanium?
I got a Borla super cat-back exhaust system look really high quality built.
I am not sure it is a titanium or not. Can you do any test beside weight it?

Titanium has a goldish tint to it and just picking it up , you will know, that stuff is unbeleivably light....
Maybe, when install the headers, I will try to take off the Borla resornator and I can tell :D
Thanks

If they are Stingers, they are not Titanium. Probably the biggest indication of titanium is cost. Look at the Corsa titaniums.....almost 2 grand.

Put a magnet on the titanium exhaust and it should not stick to it. Stainless is not magnetic however thats only for grades above 304 and stainless exhaust systems are made out of cheaper stainless and should hold a magnet. :thumbs:

sounds like the XR1 system if it has the resonator....and unless you paid HUGE $$$$$, then they're NOT titanium ;) :cheers:
