if you research it actually, they look titanium but is actually just stainless steel with a bunch of welds. their excuse is that the piping is so tight, no machine can bend it tight enough so they just weld in small incremements.

This only exacerbates my argument further. I still think a mandrel bending machine could have done the job. Props to whoever wants to buy $2200 SS headers because it has a $hit ton of welds. Now, I would spend $2200or more for Titanium long tubes

Meh, my longtubes weighed like 12 pounds together.

You aren't saving much by going titanium.

True, just looked about both my boxes. My test pipes shipped at 11lbs and my headers box shows 19 lbs with gaskets, boxes and he had something else shipped in the box too so yeah....definitely not worth it.
