Sorry, but I vote no also. Looks to us people who know cars that the car has problems. Doesn't look like a thing you would do on purpose.

I knew there was a $ visibility thing going on with the blue tips - real titanium turns blue when it gets hot, so blue tips means you've laid out the money for a serious exhaust system.

Of course, BMW has raised the ante: their aftermarket BMW Performance exhaust system for the V8 M3 is made from Inconel, the metal used for Formula 1 exhaust systems. Titanium is just so six-months-ago!
