TITANIUM...??!!  on a BIKE...!!!???

  Remarkable...!

Jack, The system is remarkable. The stock steel single wall system
on the GSXR is one of the lightest standard street mufflers at approx
19 pounds. Titainum exhaust system 7 pounds. 12  POUND weight saving.
 When guys are going bonkers to save ounces that is a lot. Expensive
cost to pounds saved. Bill Jepson

I was in Pep Boys auto store the other day, and they have an aftermarket

round muffler made of titanium. The one they had in stock came with, I
believe 3 inch inlet/outlets.  Price was around 125 dollars.  If I recall,
the total overall length was  about 18 inches or so. (I didn't measure it,
just guessing). It was obvious that the welds were done by machine.  Paul
