On track and spirited, the silencer obviously out. But for daily driving and long cruises, certain passengers and I do prefer a quiet ride. Having the option is always better than no option at all.
Installed exhaust photos on Page 6 for those who've missed it

Make sure you remove the silencer from the muffler at least once every month if you use it for the majority of the time. Corrosion can occur especially from car wash, however exhaust output does contain a high level of H20 output. What happens commonly is, corrosion occurs and joins the silencer and muffler into a "one piece" product, should that happen, you'd really be crying as it'd be a major PITA to remove, if it's actually "removable".Comment

Corrosion on titanium? is that even possible?

.....The excellent corrosion resistance of titanium alloys results from the formation of very stable, continuous, highly adherent, and protective oxide films on metal surfaces. Because titanium metal is highly reactive and has an extremely high affinity for oxygen, these beneficial surface oxide films form spontaneously and instantly when fresh metal surfaces are exposed to air and/or moisture. In fact, a damaged oxide film can generally reheal itself instantaneously if at least traces of oxygen or water are present in the environment. However, anhydrous conditions in the absence of a source of oxygen may result in titanium corrosion, because the protective film may not be regenerated if damaged.Comment

Refer to Jing's technical notes.
In simple english ... Yes, titanium can and will corrode. It is not invincible and needs to be treated with the same care and maintenance.Comment
