ART Titanium high levels for me, stainless is sooooo 90's. I would put some pictures up but my camera is rubbish and keeps taking blurry pictures.

Does the Dual Port Blue Flame sound any diffrent Than the Single Port?

ive got stainless steel race pipes fitted at the moment but there not in the best condition after going down the road, i do like the look of the titainum ones but im sorry its not £105 pounds better looking.

I think it's the weight saving you are paying for TBH, mine could be made from cardboard they are so light, i was amazed.

I like shiny too :thumbup:

It's personal choice I guess. I admit the titanium can's look nice :thumbup:

If I get a scratch on my stainless steel can's I can just polish it out, not sure if you can do that with titanium ones.

Sound wise, some prefer stainless, some titanium and others carbon. It's (as I mentioned) very much a personal choice.
