I am looking for everything that explain the manufacturing processes, the advantages, the drawbacks, and so on of titanium alloys used for exhaust systems in automotive. Moreover, I am interested in the cost field of those.
It would be great if you could also provide some documents.
Thank you all.

Advantages:
- lighter than the steel alloys usually used for exhaust manifolds (important for any type of car)
Disadvantages:
- More complex deformation behavior
- welding can require special conditions (no oxygen)
