I am glad you asked.

Amuse and Nippon Steel offer something called STTi. Basically it is Super Tough Titanium. This material has proven most effective with the new R35 as most people are aware of the immense amounts of heating the R35 produces throughout the exhaust system. Most titanium exhaust systems, as they increase in temperature, they become more brittle, more fragile; Exhausts from Powerhouse Amuse & Nippon Steel are not as prone to cracking or bending. I do not know the full specifics of STTi, I just know that this material has a longer life span than most titanium exhausts, and yet it is among the lightest exhausts at this point in time.
