Titanium or Stainless Steel race pipe ?
What do you guys think is better to put on the car ?

I am worried the Ti pipe would not last for long due to heat.

At that distance from the turbo a Ti test pipe will work fine. Given the choice I'd pick the Ti purely for weight concerns.

Are you permanently in Kuwait?

Living in Ohio, I tend towards SS to avoid rust.

Get the ss test pipe from Ultimate racing for $70 instead of $200 titanium pipe... $130 for a weight savings of only 3#'s???
