Has anybody put a titanium firewall on their Sonex rather than stainless?

Hi Bryan,
I can't help but ask this, but why would you do that? I guess I don't see anything wrong with the stock SS firewall, especially when it's already with the kit, is light, and provides fire protection (although I'm sure titanium does as well).
Are you thinking about it?

Mike,
I am more just wondering if anybody has done it. Ti is a common firewall material in the industry as it provides good protection and has 56% of the weight of steel. I regret not going that route for the hummelbird as weight is the enemy. The stock stainless firewall is nice as it is already done.
