Just wonder are there any titanium exhuast or manifold for the S1? When i had my s2000 there are lots of parts thats made for it from Japan and they were super light and nice…
I know Jim @ 2bular does do som titanium stuff for the S2 not sure about the S1, give him a call?
I have a Titanium silencer on mine had it made up by a guy who usually does exhausts for bikes.
Why would you want to? - sounds v expensive for so little gain?
I have one on my MR2 and its great. only 3.5kg for the silencer. Sounds ace and saves 9kg over the standard exhaust. It never corrodes or gets ugly which is a plus.
I would buy one if it was available for the S1. Strangely everyone is so obsessed with weight here then people spend thousands for stainless steel bits… ^_^’
Now, if they made one out of carbon!
April fool! 
Actually, I am fairly sure that some company in Japan did do one for the S1 years ago (and no its not an april’s fool) 
I see people spends thousand on some stainless parts where as it will cost about the same for the titanium parts. Nothing can match the beautifully burned titanium tips…
I will do some research on the japan systems
I recently fitted a titanium system to one of my other cars, the weight saving is unbelievable, when the box arrived I thought it was empty, my original exhaust weighed 33Kg the titanium weighs 7kg. One of the other benefits I�ve found is the engine bay seems to run cooler as titanium doesn�t seem to retain the heat, in fact the exhaust is cold after a couple of minutes and that�s even after a spirited drive. The system was quite expensive, but on the other hand it was a lot cheaper than other stainless steel systems that are offered. The main reason I went for titanium was because I was after a particular sound quality that you get with these exhausts, not sure if it would improve the sound of a rattling old K series though.
Yes Dave, my Ti exhaust cut down so much heat from the engine bay that I now have removed all the exhaust area heat shielding because it is not needed.
I would pay for a properly designed titanium exhaust 
get the bloody thing running again first! 
what about iconnel?
I can’t really see an advantage to using Inconel. It’s heavier than stainless and about twice as heavy (going by its density) as titanium. I know it’s used in F1 etc, but I thought that was due to the extreame heat produced by those engines and regular metals would melt\deform too much. I doubt a road engine puts out temperatures anywhere near the same. Although if anyone has any further information…?

Yeah… good point!
hahaa
In my limited experience of Inconel use on (turbo-charged) road car exhaust manifolds, I’ve seen the older it gets (more heat cycles it goes through) the more brittle and the more prone to cracking it becomes - not really a problem in F1 where they bin them after every race.
Frankly, I would use Titanium only for the silencer and maybe the downpipe. If you use it for the manifold there is a good chance it will crack. The weight savings are huge though.
Did you manage to find anyone for these?
