It seems like only the MK5 Supra guys are running titanium exhausts when it comes to the B58. Doesn’t seem like many shops out there make them for the F2X or F3X platform. Any guys here running a titanium exhaust? And if so, how was your experience?

I'm sure sure what kind of feedback you're looking for? It's the same as stainless or mild steel cept it's way more expensive lol.. they generally make the tubing thinner with titanium so the overall system tends to be lighter.. It doesn't fit or sound different.. doesn't make more power but you'll save a few pounds and have that I'm better than everyone feeling cause you spent 1000 more on titanium.

I just wanted to see who here is running a titanium exhaust and how they like it.

I like the deep tone the B58 has, but I would like a slightly more high pitched tone, which titanium can produce since it is a bit more “tinny” than stainless steel.

Titanium does produce a slightly different note, as listed above due primarily to tubing wall thickness, so say the sound is 'racier' it's all personal preference. From a performance standpoint it will shave a couple lbs. from the total weight of an exhaust system.

I'm not sure if this titanium exhaust fits the xDrive or just the RWD: https://x-ph.com/akrapovic-2018-bmw-...titanium-tips/.

Agreed, the sound is really what I’m going after. The weight savings is a nice touch.

Thanks for the response, I actually looked into the Akrapovic exhaust lineup for the F2X. They offer a stainless and titanium setup, but with titanium they only offer a rear section. I’m looking for a catback system, to be specific just a full straight pipe dual exit system. The Akrapovic quality and r&d is top notch though, one of the very best. I’m gonna be getting in touch with some shops to see if I can have a titanium exhaust made. If it happens, I’ll post some sound clips.

That's an option worth looking into and one I was going to suggest.

Good luck with it. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks man, I’ll keep this thread up to date.

Looking forward to it, also share the cost - I know titanium is at an elevated price with all the goings on in the world today.
