You could always approach fast intentions to see if they’d do a one off in titanium. Then you’d know your getting the best of both worlds. But probably at a pretty steep price.
Titanium is cool, but hard to say its worth the all headache and extra cost.
Btw thinkpad, what oem Porsche exhaust is titanium? Part or the Motorsports division or something? I didn’t know any of their oem stuff was titanium. Speaking of which, any other oems use titanium? Bugatti or the such?
Maddog,
The GT series exhaust are titanium. They ALL crack. All the time, with low mileage.
OP, if your titanium exhaust cracks, it was not your welders fault. If akropovic partnered with Porsche can’t get it right…

Also on final note OP. The GT3/2 / rs’s oem exhaust are titanium and they are nothing to write home about.
That is including the 4.0 which i have had the pleasure of experiencing. Most if not all forum members switch to SS- my Gt3 is also switched to SS.
Well my dealings with Titanium exhausts have not been bad, but maybe it was due to an Aftermarket exhaust company doing the R&D before the build. As far as performance…I am pretty sure systems available now are negligible in difference unless you are going with a large 2.75 diameter. I am only aware of two in that design. Regardless, my car is already going to be SCed, so I don’t know what difference 20 hp will make…FWIW, far and wide, most people purchase an exhaust keeping the noise of it as one of the reasons, not just performance. I know of many who have swapped exhausts due to them being too loud and ergo sacrificing power…Just saying… 
thinkpad = LaserBen ?
Incolnel? On an N/A car? Not necessary.
that would be a great plot twist
LOL that is an insult.
If I were Ben I wouldn’t say that his mom works for the Federal goverment…or that all those rental car’s that he purposely damaged, those companies will be persuing for property damages 
fixed
Also, your car sounded very civilized when JHM’s tuner was checking it out (when I was there from Canada, he was there from Detroit and one of the things he did was check out your car and have a look at your tune). It had the JHM downpipes, and stock catback. Not insane loud, not quiet as a mouse either.
Yikes!
There’s a popular rental scam out there. Someone has a blue Ford Fusion for example, with front end damage or a bad engine. So they get a buddy to rent a car, take the good parts off the rental car, and put the bad parts on the rental. Then return it and let the rental company deal with it.
Very popular form of insurance fraud in the ghetto.
Of course knowing ben, he probably did the Bam Margera instead. Rent a car, get insurance, trash it, and return it.
Wow. Almost to the dot. BUT he went even further…things you wouldn’t believe. He wants to play fire with fire. I’ll play. I hope he learns to not to mess with people with $ and people that have dirty on him that can incarcerate him for lifetime(s).
Haha, thats terrible and ingenious. My mind just doesn’t think that way.
Haha…It is SC’ed “for the record”, but is still undergoing tuning by the folks there. I mihgt get a chance to drive it when we go on leave at the end of March, so I am excited as hell. BTW, I have found a potential builder for Ti exhaust in the UK. They are quoting 1999 pounds, so around 3k… Not bad, I will definetely be keeping in touch with them. And yes, they already have built numerous examples for RS4 Saloons!! Hell yeah!!
yeah, it’s amazing. There are thousands of RS4s in the UK. More than in America+Canada combined…and the population is about 1/6
Wow, I had no idea of that. . .
Go check out Audi sales numbers.
England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland = about 63 million people
Canada/USA = about 350 million people
UK 2013 Audi sales = 142,000
Canada/USA Audi sales = 158,000
I read most of the thread…all I can say from experience is your wasting your time and money on a Ti exhaust…your spending a ton of money on something that structure wise makes for a terrible exhaust. In my experience Ti isn’t at home in the shape of exhaust tubeing…I think you will be very upset as the issues with a Ti exhaust will be there well after the neat factor is gone…it seems you already know all this…just be careful thet you get actual virgin Ti not recycled china crap…all the china company’s that sell exhaust use recycled medal and they never know what percentage is what when they melt it down they have all kinds of different medals in there so called stanless…
even a lowly intern fresh outta med school in the NHS could afford a nice TDI A3 
I saw RS4’s daily on my 18 mile commute. Other than forum members, I have only seen 2 RS4’s in the “wild” in 4 years in Ontario.
To OP - great work on finding an exhaust builder. What will be the diameter? 2.75"? 3"?
Think there was about 10,000 B7 RS4 built, 8500 stayed over the pond, with 2500 going to North America, and only 100 actually going to canada.

^ got this from the RS4 registry. Still missing a few cars from the list, and I’m sure a bunch have been written off as well.
What’s crazy when you think about is the production numbers for each model type, granted we don’t get the avant in North America, but a Canadian cab RS4 would be a very rare vehicle!
Haven’t gotten into the weeds yet. Just made initial contact, and will go from there. FWIW these guys seem legit. They are called Prindville Performance…
Seems legit…
Never heard of them before ever. I’ve spent a lot of time on rs246. You should sign up there and ask if anyone knows these guys.
