Default Titanium exhaust durability

How does titanium compare to ceramic coated or full stainless steel when its exposed to the elements(rain, snow, salt, etc)?


for example, the tanabe exhaust i have on my accord has a stainless steel muffler with ceramic coated piping. its been on for 2 years now, but the piping from the cat to the b-bipe is starting to rust a little bit. will this happen to a full titanium exhuast like the amuse r1, i might get this one soon for my s2k.


thanks.

ok i heard that if its titanium then it won't rust, i just wanted to make sure.

so hows your r1 doing? it must be very fun to drive the s2k with an exhaust right? stock, its just too damn quiet and i hate hearing every noise from the engine bay. i like exhuast noise.

suprisingly i love to hear the engine noise, R1 is not too loud and I just love the way it is.

Dual R1 and single R1 sounded about the same maybe the single is a barely bit louder. If you want performance you definitely consider single. I dynoed my MUGEN and it only made a few hp at the mid-range.

But Albert has no cat either.

The only thing I've been told with my Amuse is that driving in salt will dull the tips finish.
