J's racing FX50RS titanium exhaust on FitRS

Those headers look machine-welded, for the most part. Plus, material matters. J's is probably titanium. Are those headers titanium as well? Stainless steel isn't going to discolor during welding like titanium does.

stainless discolors more than titanium does when welding. that header is machine welded aside from the blow off valve flanges. the heat lines look too perfect to be done by hand. that header looks like titanium.

That is a full race robotic tig-welded manifold. And those are v-band flanges for dual wastegates, not bov flanges.
Probably stainless primaries and a mild steel flange like their other stuff.

titanium will not weld to stainless or carbon steel. if you try weld them it will crack and contaminate the titanium. the manifold has to be all titanium or it can be stainless with steel flanges. by looking at the flanges i think the mnifold is stainless.

p.s. welding is my profession.
