I haven't ever heard of any titanium headers. Would it even be as durable as steel? The header has a lot more forces on it than an exhaust pipe. It also seems like it would provide only minor weight savings considering a stainless unit can be only 10 lbs.

I saw Titanium headers for the 350Z. The only problem is that it is $3800 !!!

Amuse is SS, they supposedly produced one Ti header for themselves but it never made it into production.

5 lbs is a big difference when it comes to the weight of a header.
