    It's more common to have Titanium intakes and steel exhaust valves as your intakes are bigger and you get better control of the valve and will let you rpm more, also a bigger weight break for your buck...We run Ti intake and exhaust valves with no issues...How big is your intake valve, if it is a big intake, it is hard to control that much weight with a steel valve....

          ...or at one time had both Ti intake and exhaust, hurt the intakes and replaced them with steel because of the expense.
