Default Modify Titanium?

IF i wanted to manipulate a dual titanium exhaust, like extending it or bending it how would i go about doing it? what type of company would i contact? the exhaust shops around me won't touch it.

If you live in Northern California my friend can fix it. He has fixed several of the bay area members titanium exhausts, including mine.

Extending a titanium exhaust is possible. Finding mandrel bent titanium to weld in is a joke. You will have to pie cut standard tubing in order to get a "close enough" mandrel bent exhaust.

Realistically, every muffler shop will turn this job away. You will have to go to a welding shop (try machine shops too!!!) somewhere around your area.

In any event, good luck.

Outside of San Francisco in a town called Dublin.

The whole Compton for a Cracka thing is because Dublin is the hood... and I'm a whitey ROFL.

Then you need to make sure you carry heat.. You'd think in a town called Dublin you'd be safe being a whitey.

Probably in Ireland there's a place called Compton where the same thing is happening.

As far as machine shops go... you will probably find that they will just weld it for you. You will have to fabricate it yourself. So make sure to ask the machine shop for fabricator references... they have got to have a few customers that are fabricators.

I just make sure to only go out during the day. That way... my anemic whiteness will instantly cause blindness to my oncoming assailant.

It depends where and how bad the bend is. Do you have pictures? Where do you live? Can you bring it by???

You can give him a call if you like. His name is Ralph
9_2_5
6_4_0
5_6_0_0

His voicemail is funny but doesn't say his name... but trust me it's him. Tell him you got his number from Andrew the Yooden.
