Hmmm, where did you hear that? I'd like to verify, if so, I'll order them.

Also, since there is some offset on the intakes, are there 2 different lengths? Or just the one?

I am pretty sure they are hardened aluminum with steal tips.

I doubt they are titanium. I wouldn't trust that link, as the pistons are not forged.
