Hello guys,

I really like your website and read it very often, and this is my first question. Which is better for my Suzuki GSX650F a titanium, steel or aluminum exhaust system?

Aluminum is lighter than titanium. Titanium is lighter than steel. However, titanium is stronger than aluminum, about the same strength as steel.

The biggest advantages of steel are that it is strong and cheap. Aluminum's big advantages are that it is light and, when used properly, very rigid. Titanium's biggest advantages are that it is lighter than steel, offers more flexibility and has an incredible fatigue life.
