This may be a dumb question? But what cars have the Titanium and what cars have the aluminum?

 

aluminum is stock, titanium is optional (I believe). You can also get even cooler titanium knobs from Voodoo and others.

The titanium is polished with black numbers engraved on it.

 

So what? We just go to Honda Parts and ask for a Titanium shift knob?

 

Gee, That's strange....my titanium knob has a matching RED shift pattern. It was pretty easy, I just used my touch up paint to fill in the shift pattern. Looks much better than black.

The easiest way is a simple device.... a magnet.

Although there are over 17 alpha and beta types of titanium alloys, none of them are as magnetic as a ferrous based steel with perlite and/or martinsitic matrix. However, you will feel a "pull" when applying a magnet, whereas with aluminum, you will feel no "pull".
