I personaly know only one part of hobby where it is required to use pipe from steel or Ti-it is tether cars-AL pipes bending there due to the very high centrfugal forces.
Our friquency is very low for materials make significant difference in performance
Thaks again...nice info about materials...

What pipe are you currently using which in your experience works out best..... In may case i've found that the best pipe with a nice overall balance and works on almost every engine i've used (Sirio, STS, OS. Novas) is the Mugen Shimo P01002 (efra 2609), just tuning it with different Nova headers (short, medium, long)....
