Ohhh man, could you imagine a STEEL intake tube? That alone would increase the front end weight about 100lbs.

I thought it was the other way around. The vacuum from the intake sucked the air from the air to oil separator and the oil went back down to the pan. Im prolly wrong tho, lol.

I am. It goes both ways. It just provides a channel for the air from the movement in the crankcase to go. The green line in the drawing is a vent.
I no longer have the red channel functioning since I have a custom manifold. And the green line is just atmospheric. Not connected to an intake or anything.
All it is is a vent. As long as air can move, it will work fine.

I would think that under most conditions everything from the cat on back could be aluminum without any major heat-related issues.  Probably would be wise though to protect everything by applying some of that adhesive-backed thermal shield material along the exhaust route. Hard part is dealing with the pipe itself, aluminum doesn't weld easily so clamping has to done. Most of the real weight to be saved is in the muffler, aluminum could help a lot here but be expensive?
Anyhow, just my two cents... Good luck!

aluminum welds very easily....but not to steel and most of the components (headers, cats, mufflers) are made of some sort of steel. Also, aluminum is very soft. if you bottom out with aluminum exhaust pipes, you could easily tear it open....where steel would be just scuffed up.
the metal I wanna know about is Invar...it's a steel/nickel alloy, but I have no idea what possibilities there can be for automotive application. It can be soldered if it is copper plated...not sure if it can be welded. I would think that it can be used for engine blocks, brake rotors, and other high-heat/high friction stuff.

Titanium is supposedly the best for exhausts. My moms Z06 has a Titanium exhaust, supposedly, and it's quite ugly. The tips are Titanium and dont shine up at all. dull as snot. lol
