Question:

difference between titanium and stainless steel?

i want to buy an exhaust but whats the difference between satinless steel and titanium exhaust?

Answer:

Stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than steel and titanium is more corrosion resitant and lighter. However, titanium is more prone to picking up (scratches caused by normal tools creating scratches and leading to stress fractures). The Lockheed Blackbird had to have tools treated lithium grease (i could be wrong) to prevent this. I'd stick with stainless steel as i think any titanium exhaust you can buy will be a titanium composite due to its cost
titanium is a light-weight silvery metallic element that is corrosion-resistant while a stainless steel is a steel containing atleast 12 % chromium and is also corrosion-resistant. both are good choices for a new exhaust.
