Guess you might want to explain that to these guys. I can see where it might be more cost effective to cut and weld, but don't make a blanket statement that it can't be done...

he's correct. High grade titanium is unable to bend. you have to have a much lower grade softer metal to bend pipes like that. so if you see titanium that is bent, its probably pretty low grade and cheap
