Yes.

But you'd have to do it from the inner edge.

Cause the direct heat and scorch marks you will make are nearly impossible to clean off.

you can but it might start to look crappy after a while and its hard to remove the burns after its on.. its possible to remove it but you will scratch the tip to hell

i recomend you not doing it to an exhaust you really like. a buddy of mine is a welder and he told me that i'll eventually hate it becuase i was considering doing it. theres also a chance it will make a different design then the blueish with a fade. so be careful and think about it before you do it. you dont want it to look like your a stupid ricer.

most people can afford titanium, this is why people buy rotas instead of volks.

who cares if something looks like a more expensive part? All it means is that they like the looks and cant afford it. It would be a different story if the person tried to play the cheaper part off as the more expensive one, thats just gay.

ive decided not to do it pretty much because it will most likely not turn out blue or look cool atleast

and the fact that a titanium exhaust is that color for a reason, and a normal exhaust isnt.

well if your really ever curious how it will look, just go get a peice of aluminum or w.e your exhaust it made out of and just torch it a little, it will give you a sense of what your gonna get.. but also after you test it, try taking it off.. you'll need a grinder.
