Re: Made a Titanium Intake at work today!

I'm guessing from all of the titanium work that I've seen that Ti cannot be bent?

It can be, its just very difficult to find the bends "in stock", or have them made, very $$$

I did it on the subaru project. Weighed about the same as aluminum would, but about 10x the cost, and 100x cooler!!

Titanium work-hardens very easily. I would presume at that price, pie-cuts are cost-effective even with a master weldor at the helm.

Re: Made a Titanium Intake at work today!

Ti CAN be bent but from my mandrel dude's they said it's a pain to do so....got a bunch of Titanium tubing today! Cat-back exhausts will be up shortly! This stuff is sick to work with!
