no that is quite clearly titanium, again you can tel this by the colour and the width and shape of the weld bead,

if you look at the top picture of the exhaust you posted the bracket that attatches to the bumper area, looks like it has been MIG welded, how many people do you know that can MIG weld titanium?

I am not trying to be a smart arse, but without seeing it in the flesh i would say that it is not titanium
Pal...I aint being funny, but that's my exhaust...I bought it and I can assure you it's titty...if you want to come for a look i'd be more than happy to show you round the car.....the weld you refer to is very difficult to differentiate, that I would agree....but that is actually a gusset, tig welded both sides to support the bar which goes into the rubber support off the car.....yes as you rightly point out, you cant mig weld titanium, it has be welded in a bubble or purge I believe its called.....when its cleaned off properly the welding on all the compenents of the car is work of art.....but please dont jump to rash conclusions....

fair enough mate
