How so? This exhaust is made up entirely of Titanium. That would make it much lighter than the stock steel exhaust. Titanium is also very durable against heat and salt. Akropovic welds are also very nice. I do not understand why you would think lighter is cheaper quality.

Titanium can fracture because of its metallurgical properties. Hopefully, they have alloyed it sufficiently to avoid problems.

Wrong!
Titanium is used in Military and Civil Aviation due to weightsaving and durability.

Ti like Al does crack. It doesnt mean that its not strong. It's just not as flexible as, say, steel.

I don't like the way it sounds in the clip. It sounds awesome, but very un-porsche. It sounds more Italian and doesn't sit w/ me properly. I love my PSE and think it is true to form.
