    I searched the forum first..
    My question is
    How durable is the TI vs the Stainless full systems under racing conditions?
    Are TI pipes more likely to crack than stainless over a couple of years?
    I'm told by the manufacturer that the Stainless is more "durable" in a crash.
    The Graves WORKS Ti is only 1 pound heavier than the Graves WORKS Stainless.

    Their Ti system is *heavier*?

    FWIW, the Akra on my R6 is SS. You know how much its been tested ;)

    The Ti becomes brittle over time. I've had a 2 Titanium exhausts and never had one crack, but I have had them defect structurally where leaks developed around fittings. In a crash, they will hold up fine but you have to make the decision as to whether or not the few less lbs. and the 1-2 H.P. are truthfully worth the cost.

    I have heard about the hp loss, but why is that?
