It is not high grade Titanium.
High grade Titanium can't be bent and exhaust noise will be raspier.
Akrapovic is using stainless mixed Titanium, and charge you a full Titanium price.
Stainless is softer material and make the exhaust noise deeper.
From their own site, it LITERALLY says "Built from high-grade lightweight titanium to reduce weight, with valve housings cast in the in-house foundry, the Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system fits directly onto the BMW M5’s stock downpipes."
Here are grades off Titanium
Number 1 most pure Titanium

Grade 1-3 mainly get used for Medical application

Grade 4,7,11 grade 4 is good to form used for tubing, heat exchanger

Grade Ti 6AI14V which is grade 5 mainly get used for engine components, aircraft, aerospace

To 6AL-4V ELI grade 23 springs

Grade 12 mainly for heat exchanger

Ti 5AL-2.5Sn Aircraft, airframe
