Simply not true.
Titanium as a material has totally different resonance properties, and because of that (and it's lighter weight), it will sound VERY different.

Here is a clip of the same exhaust, on the same car, in Titanium vs. Stainless:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGxt9amgxMc (Stainless)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEFV4eC0s4U (Stainless)

The difference may be slight, but notice what a different pitch it has?

If you have any other questions feel free to contact our sister company, JleviSW.com, at 1.888.JLEVISW. They carry Vorsteiner, Remus, Eisenman, Meisterschaft, Agency Power, etc.

Take care

The weight and price are the difference. If the exhaust is entirely titanium (not just rear section) it is mega expensive.
The price is not worth it unless money is of no concern.
The sound difference is not convincing.
btw the videos IMO were not accurate. The M3 was nowhere near driven as hard and rpm levels in the stainless exhaust videos.
Just an observation.
