the air that travels through the intakes doesn't spend enough in the pipes to pick up the residual heat from the metal. I think the real reason behind it is because its a fad. I am not trying to knock the product I am more of a function over form kind of guy so I don't see the point in it being titanium and the extra cost and time to "burn" it.
