i will remember that. just cause it is crazy fast doesnt mean im going to use it all. i still managed to get 48mpg riding to work last week. i got pulled over though and the cop told me that my tattoo's were very fitting. it says hold fast written on each of my fore arms.... i was let off with a warning. 
im still new to bikes too. gotta take some racing schools to really learn how to ride.

and you speak the truth. nothing more miserable than riding a motorcycle in the cold rain. ive pulled over at times to warm my hands on the engine.

I can see how that would help. When I had my 240sx, my catback had some leaks at the hangers/flanges. It was shitty, I just bought a new catback instead of trying to fix it.

titanium is designed to handle the heat. that is why they add it to 321 stainless steel so it can specifically handle high heat tolerances.
the cast casing of the turbo would melt off before the titanium would even feel the pressure. at least that has been my experience when trying to maximize diesel engines where EGTs are easily into the 1300-1400F.

oh i got an update!! i got my shit welded back together. the welder was super cool. he only charged me 50 bucks and the welds are god damn beautiful. he said that most likely the rubber mounts were too flimsy and it let the pipe flex more than it should have. its funny tho because j's sells stiffer hanger mounts too. haha
if the engine torqued hard and the hangers were stiffer, then there would be more bending at the exhaust
think about it
if there were no hangers (kinda like infinitely soft hangers) the exhaust would move with the engine torque and there would be NO FLEX in the exhaust system)
if the exhaust hangers were stiffer how would it move with the movement of the engine?
