Carbon fibre VS Titanium Scorpion exhaust

[farish]

Hi all.

Was wondering, what is the weight difference between the two?

Heard that Carbon fibre (CF), has a shell life? As in after a certain time frame the CF might crack? (heard from a local dealer, who is dealing with another brand of exhaust)

I put a Two Brothers exhaust on my bike about a year ago. One of the things I read about the CF cans is they can suffer premature breakdown due more to overheating than anything else. I think it's more a concern when the bike is dyno'd. I opted for the aluminum more out of the price than anything else. Then when I did get the bike dyno'd I wasn't worried about burn-out. I don't know what the difference in weight would be but can't imagine it would be much. If I had it to do over again I would stay with an alloy...

Call the factory and find out what the weight difference is.

Ti is slightly heavier than CF.
Some, not all, CF does discolor after a while. Ti can also get some discoloration from oily substances getting burned into the shell, though I have never experienced this myself.
