How deep are your pockets?  Anything in titanium is going to be
expensive.  Something as large as an exhaust in titanium will be
obscenely expensive.  As an example, a titanium bike frame is
probably 2-3 times more expensive than steel or aluminum.  They
start at over US$2K.  Aside from the high cost of the raw material,
titanium has to be completely immersed in an inert gas for welding.
That usually means welding in a large chamber that can be purged of
air and filled with argon or some other inert gas.

The question I have is:  Why do you want a titanium exhaust?
