Why no Titanium ?

Just wondering why nobody is offering a titanium exhaust system for the viper ? I have to admit im not so good in knowing and understanding the principals of metal fabrication but I know titanium is a weight saver. And well known in supras and imports world so why not "viper world" ? :doh:

I feel the cost to weight savings is just not worth it.

Plus it give an even "tinnier" sound than stainless steel does.

Titanium does come in deferent grades so who is to say that the ricer exhaust is the "good" Titanium?

Why not just use Inconel?

Now that cost some bucks. But it does make for a nice header.

But it will not be of any benefit for an after cat system.

Listen to a titanium Corsa exhaust for a Corvette and then listen to the regular touring edition and then the pace car edition, you will soon see why titanium sucks and shouldn't be offered on the Viper, it sounds like ass.
